Gangotri Yatra by Helicopter

The gleaming white Dham of Gangotri is known for being the seat of Goddess Ganga. Situated at an elevation of 3,100 metres above sea level and surrounded by the snow clad mountain peaks of the greater Himalayan regions this Dham is one of the most celebrated of all the Char Dham sites of Uttarakhand. Sitting by the banks of the holy river of Bhagirathi the natural beauty, grace and elegance of this place still remains incomparable.
According to a rough estimate, there may be a huge swell in rush of Chardham pilgrims for the forthcoming Yatra. The various hotels of region are getting booked speedily through the online channel. The administration of the district proposes to offer pilgrims with a heli service to the shrines of Yamunotri and Gangotri, the coming season. As per a survey result nearly 30 percent of visitors to Chardham vote for the heli services
There is an existing provision of 2 helipads at Harsil. Post landing at Harsil helipads, pilgrims need to travel nearly 23kms more via road to reach Gangotri Dham. In Yamunotri, the land allotted for ropeway has been chosen for the proposed helipad construction project of late.
