We offer chartered helicopter flights to Kedarnath. When you book a helicopter on charter for Kedarnath Dham Yatra, you are flown directly from Dehradun to the upper helipad in Kedarnath (about 100 meters) from the Kedarnath Temple. Sometimes, if landing is denied at Upper Kedarnath, then we provide a connecting flight from one of the lower Kedarnath helipads using the heli shuttle services run by our partners. You don\u2019t need to buy the ticket for the heli shuttle service separately since it is included in your charter price, and neither do you need to stand in long lines to buy the shuttle ticket. In such a scenario, Syandan Aviation will buy the shuttle ticket from its partner operators for your swift 10-12 connecting journey to Upper Kedarnath Temple Helipad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Same-Day_Return_vs_Next-Day_Return%E2%80%94Whats_the_Difference\"><\/span><b>Same-Day Return vs. Next-Day Return\u2014What\u2019s the Difference?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Same-Day%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8C%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8C%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8C%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8D%E2%80%8C_Return\"><\/span><b>Same-Day\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c Return<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick darshan with ample time to soak in the environment at Kedarnath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less expensive than the next-day return\u00a0 package<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfect for those with a tight schedule<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next-Day_Return\"><\/span><b>Next-Day Return<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overnight accommodation is provided close to the temple.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Witness the beautiful evening aarti.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More comfortable, less rushed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good for elders and families<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* It is important to note that you can customize your Kedarnath Helicopter Yatra if you book a charter to Kedarnath with Syandan Aviation.
