Every year thousands of pilgrims choose helicopters for the Char Dham yatra to save time and avoid difficult treks.
Routes
Helicopter services usually operate to Kedarnath from nearby helipads, with options for Badrinath and other shrines on selected routes.
Best time
The yatra season runs from about April or May until autumn, with demand highest at the start and around festivals.
Before you book

Why plan early

Health and safety tips for pilgrims
High altitude affects everyone differently. Carry medicines, dress in layers and rest before the journey. Elderly pilgrims and those with heart or breathing conditions should speak to their doctor. Follow crew instructions at helipads and listen carefully to safety briefings.
Key takeaway: Book early, carry ID and check weather forecasts before you travel.
