Kedarnath Yatra by Helicopter – 1 Day Private Charter Package

What Is a "Private Charter" — And How Is It Different From a Regular Kedarnath Heli Ticket ?

Most Kedarnath helicopter bookings you see online are shared-seat shuttle tickets — booked individually through the government's IRCTC HeliYatra portal, where you fly with other pilgrims on a fixed government schedule from Phata, Sersi, or Guptkashi.

A private charter is different. You hire the helicopter itself — either one seat on a dedicated charter aircraft, or the entire helicopter exclusively for your own group. You are not queued with strangers, and departure can start from Dehradun directly, not just from the base helipads.

If your priority is the lowest cost and you're flexible on timing, the IRCTC shuttle ticket works. If you want privacy, your own schedule, and a single door-to-Dham journey from Dehradun, a private charter is built for that.

Who Should Choose a Private Charter

• Families or groups who want complete privacy and their own schedule
• Senior citizens and differently-abled pilgrims avoiding the 16 km Gaurikund trek
• Time-constrained travellers who need a same-day Dehradun-to-Dehradun turnaround
• Pilgrims combining Kedarnath and Badrinath in a single trip

Registration and Documents You'll Need

• Yatra Registration (URN) — mandatory before any helicopter booking, including private charters. Even for a Kedarnath-only trip, registration is done through the state's official Char Dham Yatra portal — you simply select Kedarnath during registration.

• Valid photo ID — Aadhaar card for Indian nationals, passport for NRIs/foreign nationals, for every passenger
• Biometric registration and medical check — required at Phata, Sonprayag, or Kedarnath top helipad, even for charter passengers
• Senior citizens (60+) — a medical fitness certificate is required at registration
• Pregnant women — beyond 6 weeks are not permitted to undertake the Yatra

If you're just getting started, we handle registration assistance as part of your booking — ask us on WhatsApp.

What Affects Your Private Charter Price

• Route and departure point — a Dehradun charter costs more than a local base (Phata/Sersi/Guptkashi) charter, since it covers a longer flight leg
• Exclusivity — a full private charter (whole helicopter) costs significantly more than a single seat on a shared charter
• Season — May–June (pre-monsoon) is peak demand; prices and availability tighten
• Group size — a full charter's per-person cost drops as more of your own group fills the seats
• Weather — rescheduled flights may involve additional coordination; this does not usually change the base fare

Weight and baggage: Each passenger is limited to approximately 75–80 kg; excess weight may be charged extra or affect seating. Baggage is restricted to one soft bag, maximum 5 kg per passenger — hard suitcases and trolleys are not permitted on board.
