About this Helicopter Yatra
Both western dhams in a single day, no trek
Complete the western Do Dham in one incredible day. You fly from Dehradun to Yamunotri and Gangotri by helicopter, with priority darshan at both shrines — skipping the Yamunotri trek and the long valley drives.
It's the quickest way to receive the blessings of both western sources, ideal for senior pilgrims and those on a tight schedule. Helicopter fare, transfers and darshan assistance are included; the flight depends on mountain weather.

Important Notes
Please read before booking
Yatra registration: Char Dham Yatra registration (the tourist card / biometric registration) is mandatory for all pilgrims. We help you complete it before your journey.
Kedarnath trek: Kedarnath involves a roughly 16–18 km uphill trek from Gaurikund. Ponies, palki (palanquin) and helicopter shuttles are available at your own cost. A basic fitness level is advised.
Best time: The shrines open around late April and close near Diwali. April–June and September–October are ideal; the July–August monsoon can bring landslides and road delays.
Altitude & weather: the higher shrines are at altitude with cold, fast-changing weather even in summer — carry warm layers year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you book
Yes — the helicopter flies from Dehradun to Yamunotri and then to Gangotri for priority darshan at both, returning the same day, weather permitting.
Yes — the helicopter lands close to Yamunotri and you walk only a short distance, so the ~6 km Janki Chatti trek is avoided entirely.
Both western shrines are relatively close by air, so a well-timed morning flight can cover both and return to Dehradun the same day. We can add a Dehradun hotel night on request.
Assisted, faster darshan for helicopter pilgrims so you spend less time in queues, subject to the temple committees' rules and any applicable fees.
Mountain helicopter operations need clear visibility; if the weather turns, the flight is delayed or rescheduled for safety. We advise keeping your plans flexible around it.
Very much so — with no trek and no long drives, it is the least tiring way to receive darshan at both western dhams in a day.
Yes — Char Dham registration is required for Yamunotri and Gangotri even by helicopter, and we assist with it.
Yes — some pilgrims pair it with the Kedarnath–Badrinath helicopter Do Dham to complete all four dhams by air over a few days. We can plan the combined itinerary.
