Do Dham Yatra by Helicopter (01 Day / Same Day)

Badrinath-Kedarnath Dham

• The Badrinath Dham is one of the most significant temples of Lord Vishnu, and it is counted as the main Char Dham circuit of Hindus as well.
• Whereas, the Kedarnath Dham is among the most famous pilgrimages of Lord Mahadev and it is counted as the one of twelve Jyotirlinga of Sanatan Dharma.

Note: Out of Do Dham Bundles, this one is more popular among pilgrims.

Gangotri-Yamunotri Dham

• The Gangotri Teerth signifying the Udgam of holy river Ganga is one of few temples dedicated to unique deities. In addition, this temple built of white marble looks too serene to gaze at.
• The another nearby Teerth, Yamunotri devoted to the origin of the pious river Yamuna also known as Kalindi is also a sacred pilgrimage site in the lap of towering Himalayas.

According to the cold climate of Uttarakhand, the ideal time to visit these beautiful Hindu temples is in May and June. Basically, the summer is the best season to explore these holy gems of the Himalayas. During the summer, the temperature rises up to 20 to 25°C and so the snow starts melting. As the snow melts, the narrow trails and passages reappear and become visible. However, even if you are traveling in summer, you will need warm clothes to save yourself from the cold. Hence, it's advised to carry enough woolen clothes to survive in the harsh weather of the mountains.

• On 30th April, the Gangotri and Yamunotri temples would reopen.
• While, on 2nd of May, Kedarnath Dham, the epitome of Lord Shiva would open for the devotees.
• Lastly, on the 4th of May, the Badrinath Dham doors would open for the next six months.
