Do Dham Yatra By Helicopter (Same Day)

Highlights

• Kedarnath Temple: Sacred Location: Situated at an altitude of 3,583 meters (11,755 feet) in the Garhwal Himalayas, Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and is considered one of the holiest temples in Hinduism. • Spiritual Significance: The temple is believed to have been established by the Pandavas, who are said to have worshipped Lord Shiva here after the Kurukshetra war. • Majestic Architecture: The temple's ancient stone structure, with its simple yet powerful architecture, exudes a sense of divinity. The surrounding snow-capped peaks add to the serenity. • Sacred Badrinath: Pilgrims come here for a glimpse of Lord Shiva in the form of the “Kedar” Jyotirlinga, seeking blessings for peace and well-being. • Scenic Surroundings: The trek to Kedarnath is an unforgettable experience, with stunning views of the Mandakini River and the majestic Kedarnath range.
• Badrinath Temple: Vishnu’s Abode: Located at an altitude of 3,133 meters (10,279 feet), Badrinath is one of the Char Dhams and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his “Badri” (or “Badrinath”) incarnation. It is considered one of the holiest shrines for followers of Vaishnavism. • Tungnath and Narayana: The temple stands on the banks of the Alaknanda River, and the surrounding landscape features rugged terrains, including the Narayan Parbat and the magnificent Neelkanth Peak. • The Temple Architecture: The temple has a striking structure with a golden dome, and the idol of Lord Vishnu is made of black stone. The temple's spiritual aura is unmatched, and it is said that visiting Badrinath brings eternal salvation. • The Importance of the Tapt Kund: A sacred hot water spring near the temple where pilgrims take a ritual dip before entering the temple. It is believed to have healing properties.
• Spiritual Experience: Blessings from Lord Shiva & Vishnu: Kedarnath and Badrinath are both highly revered shrines in the Hindu faith, and visiting them is considered a way to attain moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). Chanting & Pujas: The atmosphere around both temples is filled with the sounds of bells, mantras, and temple rituals. The morning and evening aartis (rituals) at both temples are especially spiritually uplifting.
• Stunning Himalayan Views: Kedarnath’s Panoramic Beauty: The Kedarnath Temple is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and the majestic Kedarnath range. The serene Mandakini River adds to the charm of the area. Badrinath’s Majestic Backdrop: The snow-clad mountains around Badrinath, including the towering Neelkanth Peak, provide a breathtaking backdrop. The temple offers spectacular views of the Alaknanda River, which adds to the tranquil atmosphere.
• Helicopter Travel: The Do Dham Yatra by helicopter offers the convenience of quick, comfortable travel, saving pilgrims from the strenuous and long treks, especially to Kedarnath. Scenic Aerial Views: The helicopter ride provides a bird's-eye view of the beautiful landscapes of Uttarakhand, including lush valleys, mountain ranges, rivers, and forests. The aerial journey is as much a highlight as the spiritual experience itself.
• The weather in both Kedarnath and Badrinath can be harsh, with snow in the winter and cool, pleasant summers. The temples are typically open from April to November, with the best time to visit being between May and October when the weather is more favorable for pilgrimage. Tapt Kund in Badrinath and the Hot Springs at Kedarnath provide comfort amidst the chilly weather, making the journey spiritually and physically rewarding.
• For those opting for helicopter services, the journey becomes much more accessible, particularly for elderly or physically challenged pilgrims. The helicopter allows you to cover both shrines in a short span of time, providing a much-needed break from long treks. Badrinath and Kedarnath Accessibility: Both shrines are also connected by roads and trekking routes, but helicopters make the journey significantly faster and easier.
• Badrinath’s Panch Prayag: While visiting Badrinath, pilgrims often also visit the sacred Panch Prayag (five confluences of rivers), which are a collection of sacred river junctions in the region, enriching the overall yatra experience.
• The yatra also offers an opportunity to witness the rich local culture, including the warm hospitality of the people of Uttarakhand, their rituals, and the traditional attire worn by the locals. The chants, prayers, and devotions make the experience both sacred and memorable.
