Chardham Yatra With Helicopter

As per the Hindu belief, the sanctified centres of Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath are termed as the Char dham. A Chardham yatra is said to be the most blessed of all pilgrimages. A trip to these destinations will wash up one’s sins but also make on free of sequence of birth and death—known as moksha. Considering the geographical complexity of India, Chardham yatra has been very difficult. But the “difficulty” hasn’t let down the Hindu devotees to go on the yatra. However, to provide utmost comfort to people on this trip, Helicopter journey has been introduced. The helicopter yatra is very comfortable and affordable. People having less time for Yatra can hire helicopter to venture this trip. 

Helicopter facilities from Agastya Muni to Kedarnath are really splendid. The chopper is scheduled to leave Agastya Muni every day between 6:30 am to 11:10 am. Agastya Muni is located approximately 17 km further than Rudraprayag route to Kedarnath. Rudraprayag is situated nearly 140 km from Rishikesh and is interconnected by first-class roads. The services starts from the point located at big place at Agastya muni. The total time taken for an around trip i.e. Agastya Muni-Kedarnath-Agastya Muni is about 45 minutes. The first flight takes off at 6.30 am, while the final flight from Agastya Muni departs at 11.10 am. 

The devotees are given one and half hour darshan period at Kedarnath. Those who wish to spend a night can catch the last flight of the day that is around 11.10 am from Agastya Muni. Kedarnath is facilitated with some good accommodation facilities. You have lodges, resorts and Dharmshalas. Travelers are suggested to reserve the room on their own at Kedarnath.  Commuters need to pay for tickets for one way i.e. Agastya Muni to Kedarnath or vice versa. This depends on the accessibility of seats. 

Parents should be aware about the fair charges for children. For children below two years, the cost will be 10% of the ticket cost and no extra accommodation is allotted for the baby. Also, there is no privilege such as “half tickets” for children. Children above two will be charged with full ticket and they will be given individual seats. In case the flight is postponed or called off due to bad weather or technical snag, you will have to arrange travel on own. 

Chardham Helicopter Tour is wonderful trip. During the tour, you will experience pure brilliance and spirituality. Nature in all its supreme is experienced at this place and trip of Chardhams is simply a life-time experience.
