Helicopter charter service provides access to char dham for elders and old pilgrims.

Char dham pilgrimage is not easy even for young and healthy peoples.  Literary this is an uphill task for the people. The way from the base to the main temples takes quite physical and mental power. And the period for such visits is short because the hilly area is covered with snow during the winter months. The pilgrimage is possible only during summer months. The older and elder would never think about the pilgrimage.

The use of helicopters for the religion pilgrimage services in hilly area has opened the possibility for old age ladies and gents to pay visit to four  places .The companies providing helicopter service take the person 4-5 maximum in a helicopter and can bring them back to the base during the single day visit. Passengers can take the different packages, which include stay in one or all temples .Some packages are only for the day service and pilgrims can come back to the dehradun in the evening.

 The sacred places Char Dham Yatra Helicopter Service associated with the char dham are situated in the hilly state of Utrakhand, .These places are Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath and Yamnotri. All the helicopter services start the flight from dehradun. The passengers have to reach the helipad for flight. There are certain rules regarding maximum load of luggage, number of passengers and other aspects of the travel. The companies charge on per person basis and all expenses start from the base point of dehradun.    Some companies operate from major cities of north India, and take pilgrims directly from the home city to temples of char dham.  Obviously, the cost of travel of these companies is more than the companies that offer service from dehradun. The customized service is also arranged, in which the passengers will be flown to dehradun from anywhere in the country and then to temples by helicopters. If passengers do not want to visit all the four sacred places, they can select the travel plan in which only few sacred places are selected.
