Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter (2 Days / 1 Night)

Our Char Dham Yatra by helicopter journey starts from the Sahastradhara helipad in Dehradun. So, one needs to reach Dehradun and if you have never been to Dehradun earlier then check out below:

By Air

Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is the nearest airport where you can land to continue your journey. After reaching Dehradun Airport you can board a taxi to reach your hotel. It is advised to everyone to reach Dehradun one night before the journey as charters start flying early morning around 7 am.

By Rail

Uttarakhand owns various railway stations and Dehradun Railway Station, Rishikesh Railway Station, and Haridwar Railway Station are the three major railway stations where you can get down and lace up your shoes for the onward aerial journey.

By Road

The cities are well-connected to other major cities in the state. These roads are well-maintained and various buses run in this state regularly.

It is known to everyone that this is an annual journey and these holy shrines are not opened throughout the year. So, one needs to know what is the best time to cover these holy shrines out of those 6 months when the Dhams are opened.

Summer Season

Summer is considered to be the best month to cover this holy Yatra as during this period the weather is quite pleasing and favourable where the temperature ranges between 7 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius. Also, the gates of these shrines are opened either in the last week of April or in the first week of May.

Winter Season

With the commencement of the winter months, the region starts receiving snowfall and this makes it pretty difficult to access the holy shrines falling en-route the circuit. The sky gets covered with dark clouds and so it becomes difficult for flying and even you cannot reach the pilgrimages by railways or roadways due to excessive snowfall and this is the reason that why Char Dham is an annual pilgrimage.

Monsoon Season

After the shrines get opened for Darshan, the pilgrimages are always crowded with devotees but as soon the monsoon starts knocking at the door number of pilgrims starts decreasing and the helicopter services are also closed during these months. The regions are pretty prone to landslides and this makes the Yatra less crowded in the monsoon months.

Most preferred time to Plan your Visit

Last week of April to June is considered to be the best time to plan your Char Dham visit and then September and October is the other recommended time to schedule your yatra.
