The Kedarnath Yatra by Helicopter offers a convenient, time-saving, and comfortable alternative to the traditional trek to one of India’s most sacred pilgrimage sites. Located at an altitude of 11,755 feet in the Garhwal Himalayas, Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and a major part of the Chardham Yatra. Reaching the shrine via a challenging 16-18 km trek from Gaurikund can be physically demanding, especially for elderly devotees or those with limited time. The helicopter service provides a hassle-free way to experience this divine journey with safety and ease.
Helicopter Routes and ServicesKedarnath Helicopter Services are operated mainly from Phata, Guptkashi, Sirsi, and Dehradun (Sahastradhara helipad). Among these, Phata, Sirsi, and Guptkashi are the most popular due to their proximity to the shrine and shorter flying time (approx. 8-10 minutes one way). The Dehradun to Kedarnath package is generally a same-day return or overnight option, which includes VIP darshan, meals, and shuttle transfers. Passengers typically board from the base helipad early in the morning. After reaching Kedarnath, they are allotted around 1.5 to 2 hours for darshan, depending on weather and crowd conditions. VIP Darshan passes are available for avoiding long queues. Same-day return trips are common, but overnight stays can be arranged for those seeking a more leisurely experience.
