Yatra By Helicopter
Char Dham and Do Dham Yatra and Kedarnath Yatra, offer helicopter services for devotees who wish to undertake the journey in a faster and more convenient way. Helicopter services are particularly popular among elderly people, those with physical disabilities, or those who have time constraints.
Helicopter services for the Char Dham Yatra generally operate from Dehradun and take passengers to each of the four holy sites in the circuit. The journey usually takes around two days to complete, and the helicopters make stops at each of the sites for darshan (worship) before returning to Dehradun.
For the Do Dham Yatra, helicopter services are available from Dehradun and Phata. The journey takes around four to five hours to complete and involves stops at Kedarnath and Badrinath.
Similarly, for the Kedarnath Yatra, helicopter services are available from Phata and Guptkashi, and the journey takes around 30 minutes to complete. Helicopters provide an easy and comfortable way to reach the Kedarnath Temple, especially for those who are unable to undertake the 14 km trek.
Helicopter services are generally more expensive than other modes of travel, but they offer a faster and more convenient way to undertake the yatra, especially for those who are physically unable to undertake the trek or have time constraints.
