subject: Chardham Tour By Helicopter [print this page] If the writings of Hindu belief are to be understood, the sanctified centres of Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath - as a group known as the Chardham are the most blessed of all pilgrimages. Venturing a trip to these destinations will not only bathe away one's sins but make certain release from the sequence of birth and death so the respect bestowed on these places is not astounding at all. The journey to these places is so arduous that sometimes it becomes difficult for people to venture out for this trip. So for the convenience of the people off late Helicopter journey was introduced.
Helicopter facilities To Kedarnath from Agastya Muni to Kedarnath are very good. The chopper will leave from Agastya Muni every day between 6:30 am to 11:10 am. Agast Muni is situated approximately 17 km further than Rudraprayag route to Kedarnath. Rudraprayag is nearly 140 km from Rishikesh and is connected by first-class roads. The service commences from the point situated at big open place at Agast Muni. The time in the air would be nearly 45 minutes for an around trip (Agatst Muni-Kedarnath-Agatst Muni). The initial flight would commence at 6:30 am and the final flight from Agast Muni will be at 11:10 am.
Darshan period for the pilgrims would get one and half hour at Kedarnath for darshan. The travelers who are to keen to stay overnight can catch the very last flight of the day that is around 11:10 am from Agast Muni. Lodging is offered at Kedarnath for such travellers. Travelers should reserve the room on their own at Kedarnath.
Commuter can also pay money for tickets for one way i.e. Agast Muni-Kedarnath or Kedarnath-Agast Muni depending on the accessibility of seats.

There is no half ticket for small children. Children above two will have to purchase full ticket and they would be provided with individual seats.
If the flight is called off or postponed due to poor weather, mechanical reasons, short of passenger load or any additional reasons, the traveler is required to travel on its own.
Once the pilgrim is there he experiences the pure brilliance and the peaceful beauty and he plunges into a world of holiness and experiences factual serenity and modesty. Nature in all its magnificence is felt at this place and pilgrimage to the Char Dhams is an experience that would continue to be with you in the times to come.
