If you travel to Char Dham By Helicopter, then your route map and itinerary would be different from non-helicopter packages. So here’s the brief information on the helicopter route map. Like other tour packages, the first destination will be Yamunotri in helicopter packages. To reach the Yamunotri Dham, usually, the Kharsali helipad is preferred by travel agencies. To reach Gangotri, you will land on the Harsil Helipad.
If you have opted for only Gangotri and Yamunotri Dham Darshan, then you’ll sit in the Helicopter that will take you to the end point of the tour directly from the Harsil Heliport. But if you have opted to complete Char Dham Yatra, then you’ll fly for the Sirsi Helipad to reach Kedarnath Dham.
Thereafter, at last, you’ll be in air by helicopter to reach the land or Vishnu Ji, Badrinath Dham. And from there you’ll return to the end point of the tour.
In case you have selected only Kedarnath and Badrinath Darshan by Helicopter then you’ll not go to Kharsali or Harsil helipads. We shall directly make you fly for the Kedarnath Helipad. The rest of the itinerary is the same as above.
