Chardham Tourism offers Yamunotri Yatra by helicopter services. It is great to take up the helicopter ride to see the beautiful and royal Himalayan Mountains and the snow covered peaks. During the Yamunotri yatra by Helicopter, the journey of these holly places becomes so easy and pleasant rather than the any other journey of Char Dham Yatra. The pilgrimage to the Gangotri shrines is the most never-ending experience that will keep on being with you for a very lengthy time. To simplicity the pilgrims and visitors, the Government of Garhwal has complete arrangements to make sure safety and comfort of the devotees. Separately from this, helicopter services are also provided for the darshan as well. Here is the information about the 2 most well-known Yamunotri Dham Yatras out of the Chardham Yatra.

You can opt for only the Yamunotri helicopter travel but it does not cost much more to take in Gangotri as well. However, that is up to individual pilgrims. The helicopter can be booked and should be booked well in advance. Pilgrims arrive at Sahastradhara helipad at Dehradun around 6 AM and the helicopter lifts off at around 7 AM after procedures, one of which is the biometric medical check. In less than an hour, it lands at Kharsali and pilgrims travel rest of the way on palanquins. After darshan and meals the helicopter takes the onward to Harsil for Gangotri yatra and by 4.30 PM, they leave for the return leg to Sahastradhara. It is a one day journey as opposed to several days of discomfort and hardships by surface travel. If you do not have the whole day to spend or simply wish to visit only Yamunotri, there is another service by helicopter to Kharsali departing at 7 AM, arriving at 8 and then returning back to Dehradun at 1 PM so you are well in time to catch a return flight to Delhi or another destination.
