Find additional details in the section below:

By Helicopter

The Chardham Yatra by helicopter packages are quite in demand as they offer a streamlined experience for all kinds of travellers. As you may already know, the traditional road journey for this pilgrimage involves a good amount of trekking via rough terrain. As it is physically demanding and time-consuming, this can be quite challenging for certain types of travellers, such as children and the elderly. The 4 Dham Yatra by helicopter packages offer a comfortable, fast and convenient alternative to this, making the entire journey accessible to a wider group of travellers. Typically, in the Chardham Heli Yatra packages, the helicopter journey begins in Dehradun. You will be able to fly to the four holy abodes and return to Dehradun once the 4Dham Yatra is completed. The Chardham Yatra by helicopter tours are generally for 5 nights & 6 days, and the breathtaking aerial views are an added bonus.

By Road

For a more traditional approach, you can go for the Char Dham Yatra packages by road. It is perfect for travellers who want to take part in the holy yatra and also check out the other notable destinations and experiences on the route. While more economical than the Chardham Heli Yatra plans, the Char Dham Yatra packages by road require a bit more time to complete the journey. Usually, the by-road journey starts at New Delhi, with the first stop at Haridwar. Besides the four holy abodes of the 4Dham Yatra, destinations like Barkot, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi, Rudraprayag, etc., are also covered.

Customisable Packages

If you want to make changes to the suggested travel itinerary of the Char Dham Yatra packages, opt for the customisable plans. With this, you can make adjustments to the various trip aspects, including changes to accommodations, inclusion/exclusion of activities, adding flights, picking the preferred choice of transfers, etc.

Essential Information for Pilgrims

Before you embark on the holy Uttarakhand 4Dham Yatra, make sure to learn about the pilgrimage route, rules and regulations, 4 Dham Yatra package details, etc., for a smoother trip experience. Some of the key information for pilgrims is shared in the following pointers:

Best Time to Visit Char Dham Yatra

While it is always a good time to go on a spiritual journey, the recommended timing for the Chota Char Dham Yatra is slightly different. As you already know, the four holy abodes of this yatra are located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. This religious pilgrimage circuit involves challenging terrain and harsh weather, which makes it difficult to cover during certain months of the calendar. Hence, the authorities allow pilgrimage on this circuit for only about six months every year, which starts around the onset of summer and ends as soon as the winter months start to roll in. This usually starts from early May to late October or early November. For the remaining time, the route stays closed. Book your preferred 4 Dham Yatra package online from Thomas Cook.

When to visit?

Usually, the best time to undertake the Chota Char Dham Yatra is between the months of May and June or September and October. During these months, the weather in the region stays quite favourable, enabling pilgrimage activities. You can easily visit the holy abodes and check out the regional beauty and other tourist attractions of the area without any hassle. Both journeys by road and helicopter will be accessible during these timeframes. Book a 4 Dham Yatra package for any of these months on Thomas Cook.

Here are the dates for the commencement and closing of the Char Dham Yatra abodes for 2026:

When to avoid?

As winter rolls in, the gates to the holy Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra close. The harsh, cold temperature, bad weather and heavy snowfall make pilgrimage activities very difficult. Continuing the Chardham heli yatra or road yatra during this season is not possible. Another time you should avoid the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is during the monsoon season. While the yatra gate remains open during the monsoon months, i.e., from July to August, the heavy rainfall makes the journey quite challenging. The roads become muddy, and there is an increased probability of road blockages and landslides. Hence, it is better to avoid choosing such risky times for your yatra for safety reasons.

Health and Fitness Requirements

Here’s what you need to know about the health and fitness requirements for the Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra:

As per rules and regulations, pilgrims who are above the age of 50 or have any pre-existing health complications, such as lung issues, health problems, etc., are required to carry a fitness certificate obtained from a licensed physician.

When booking the yatra, some operators may require travellers to complete an online self-declaration form confirming no existing illnesses or health complications.

The Char Dham Yatra includes some challenging trekking, which requires a decent level of physical fitness. Alternatively, you can opt for a Chardham Heli Yatra, which is a convenient and time-efficient alternative.

Packing List

Besides booking your 4 Dham Yatra package for the visit, make sure to learn about what to pack for the trip. When packing your luggage for the Char Dham Yatra, make sure to carry the following:

Warm clothes:

Due to its location, you will experience chilly weather on your Char Dham tour. So, make sure to pack warm clothes for the journey, including jackets, sweaters, thermal wear, etc.

Medication:

Make sure to carry a small first-aid kit and your prescription medication. Additionally, carry some OTC medication for altitude sickness, fever, headaches, cough, etc.

Portable oxygen cans:

If you have respiratory issues, it is better to carry a small portable oxygen canister as a precautionary measure.

Comfortable footwear:

If you are covering the trek route on foot, wear comfortable footwear. Keeping your feet safe in a sturdy and waterproof trekking shoe can help big time.

Sunscreen:

UV radiation at high altitudes can be quite intense. So, pack sunscreen for the journey and apply it when embarking on the Char Dham tour. You can also consider hats and eyewear.

Rain gear:

The weather can change in such a region at a moment’s notice. Hence, it is wise to carry rain gear for the journey, such as a raincoat, waterproof bag, etc.

Personal hygiene items:

Carry your personal hygiene items for the journey, such as hand sanitiser, wet wipes, toothpaste, toothbrush, and other essentials.

Documentation:

Make sure to carry relevant documentation for the Char Dham tour. This should include stuff like a valid photo ID proof, the Char Dham Yatra permit, etc.
