Chardham Yatra Significance

The Chardham Yatra is probably the holiest journey one can take. Considering the holiness of the sites, over 17 lakh pilgrims have registered for this holy Yatra this year alone, as per ET!

The spiritually-charged tour offers nothing less than Moksha itself – the liberation from the recurring cycle of birth and death. All the Chardhams are significant in their own right and are believed to represent a different spiritual dimension.

Yamunotri (Tapa Yoga)

Yamunotri temple is dedicated to the Goddess Yamuna who symbolises discipline, perseverance, and inner purity. The hot water springs here represent the fire of Tapasya.

Gangotri (Karma Yoga)

This sacred Gangotri Dham honours the Goddess Ganga who is known for selfless service. This is evident when she descended down to Earth to cleanse the sins of ancestors of King Bhagirath. The whole Dham represents serving humanity selflessly through our Karma (action).

Kedarnath (Bhakti Yoga)

Kedarnath Dham is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is known to be the destroyer of ego. It represents overcoming life’s challenges through faith and devotion – Bhakti.

Badrinath (Jnana Yoga)

The Badrinath Dham is dedicated to Lord Vishnu who represents wisdom and knowledge. The Dham signifies that one can get enlightened through self-realization and following the path of wisdom.

You can also take your tour to the next level by booking our Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter with Maha Abhishek Puja, and take the full advantage of your spiritual trip!

Best Time to Visit Chardham by Helicopter

The best time to undertake the Char Dham tour by helicopter is in the months of May-June and September-October. The weather in these windows is pleasant, and you get to enjoy clear skies. Plus, the chances of heavy rain and bad weather are quite low, which is quite an important consideration when travelling by a chopper.

Also, we advise against booking your helicopter services in the monsoon season, as the chopper services get interrupted because of heavy downpour and landslides.

Chardham Yatra Route Map

The Chardham Yatra by helicopter starts from Dehradun. To reach here, you can use flight, railways (you can visit the official website of the IRCTC to book tickets), or the good old road route.

Why Choose Char Dham Yatra Package by Helicopter?

There are several benefits of choosing a Chardham luxury helicopter tour over taking the long, strenuous trekking route through the roads, such as:

• Swift Travel: The helicopter trip cuts short the tour length to just a few minutes. While it takes days to reach the Dhams through the road route, you can cover the entire journey in a quick and timely manner with a helicopter ride.
• Comfortable Journey: With Char Dham helicopter booking, you can skip the challenging Himalayan terrain altogether and travel in a much more comfortable way. The helicopters will whisk you away to the abodes of the Lords in a highly luxurious fashion!

• Safe and Sound Journey: The Himalayan routes are a challenging terrain and are frequented with landslides and road blockages. Moreover, many trekking devotees also have to suffer from altitude sickness. With helicopter journey, you can avoid all these safety and health problems.
