Want to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath in a single day? Our Do Dham Yatra by helicopter from Delhi makes that possible. You fly from Dehradun to Kedarnath, then on to Badrinath, and return to Dehradun in the same evening.
Delhi travellers can reach Dehradun in about 45 minutes by flight or take a train or car. From there, the helicopter does the hard part. No long mountain roads. No days of travel. Just two of India’s holiest shrines in one smooth, comfortable journey.
This guide covers the route, booking steps, what is included, the luggage rules, and tips to make your 2026 yatra easy.
What Is the Do Dham Yatra?
The Do Dham Yatra visits two of India’s sacred temples in Uttarakhand. Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Both sit high in the Himalayas.
Kedarnath stands at 11,755 feet. Reaching it by road and trek takes many hours. By helicopter, it takes minutes.
Pilgrims often ask what the distance is between those two temples. The distance is only 41 km, but no direct train, bus, or flight is available between them. A helicopter fills that gap perfectly.
Why Choose a Helicopter?
Roads are narrow in these regions and usually damaged. Landslides and traffic jams cause long delays. For elderly pilgrims the journey is tiring and very physically demanding by road.
Our helicopter service solves these problems:
- Saves time: Covers both temples in one day
- Avoids road risks: No steep mountain drives
- Suits elderly pilgrims: Minimal walking and physical effort
- Stays on schedule: Fewer delays than road travel
Step-by-Step: How the Same-Day Do Dham Yatra Works
Here is how your day usually runs:
- Reach Dehradun from Delhi: By flight, train, or road
- Pick-up from the airport or station: Our team takes you to Dehradun, Sahastradhara Helipad
- Morning flight to Kedarnath: Visit the temple and offer prayers
- Flight to Badrinath: Visit the temple and take part in rituals
- Return to Dehradun by evening: Drop-off at the airport or railway station
The whole journey is completed in one day. No hotel stay is included, because the yatra is finished before night.
