A Chardham helicopter package covers all four dhams\u2014Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Which_package_is_better_for_senior_citizens\"><\/span>2.

Some <\/span><b>Chardham helicopter service<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> companies allow upgrades if seats are available. It is best to discuss this at the time of your <\/span><b>Do Dham helicopter booking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to understand upgrade options in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_far_in_advance_should_I_book_my_helicopter_package\"><\/span>4.
