About this tour
Overview
Experience the divine Chardham Yatra in Uttarakhand like never before with the convenience and luxury of helicopter travel. This pilgrimage covers four sacred sites nestled in the Himalayas: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Each of these sites holds immense religious significance for Hindus and offers breathtaking natural beauty.
The journey begins with Yamunotri, where the Yamuna River originates from the Yamunotri Glacier. Pilgrims take a dip in the hot springs of Surya Kund before visiting the temple dedicated to Goddess Yamuna.
Next is Gangotri, the origin of the holy River Ganga. Devotees visit the Gangotri Temple to seek blessings and witness the powerful flow of the Ganges amidst the serene Himalayan peaks.
Kedarnath, situated at an altitude of 3,583 meters, is revered as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Pilgrims trek or ride on mules to reach this sacred shrine surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
Finally, the journey culminates at Badrinath, where devotees visit the Badrinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya discovered this holy site centuries ago.
