Do you have a dream? When you shut your eyes, are you able to see a new world? The world is filled with peace, harmony, calmness and above all, a world that heals the spirits. But the journey you have been longing for is finally here. We understand, life happens. There are deadlines and many other engagements, and sometimes urgencies. We understand that the busy city life drains all your energy, technically. We are here to bring your dreams come true. Somewhere you can think of yourself being surrounded by the lush greenery, in a small hamlet where you can relax your heart and mind. How about the forests of Uttarakhand, which stretch out as a vast green ocean. The moment you look up from the lush green forest, in front of you, at the Himalayas, it appears as if the Himalayas are created from clouds, and they are so much higher in elevation than where you are that you may truly understand how they have existed longer than we have as human beings.
We have got you 5 days Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter. This will feel so different compared to your general monotonous world. This is not a departure from the ordinary world; this is a transition, or you can say a crossover from the ordinary world to the extraordinary world. Although it's a 5-day trip departing and returning to Dehradun for 4 Nights and 5 Days is much larger than can be covered in an itinerary; it's all about a transformational experience and has not very much to do with logistics or an itinerary. In this holy journey, you will pay a visit to four different revered holy pilgrimage spots. These are the most important religious shrines that have been recorded in Hindu mythologies. Within the Garhwal region of the Himalayas, there are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, all having immense prayer and dedication embedded into them by people for many, many years, and they have almost become a part of the mountains themselves.
There is a huge history behind the Char Dham pilgrimage, and thousands of devotees visit every year. Pilgrims have trekked for twelve hundred years to reach the sacred shrines located on these mountains. These holy places require a minimum of a week's travel, trekking through rough Himalayan patches, narrow pathways that become covered in ice during the winter months. There were some physical challenges experienced by the pilgrims that were not merely incidental to the pilgrimage; they were part of their prayer to the mountains and provided a common bond among generations of Sacred Pilgrims. The ancestors who followed the path of this holy journey today did not simply leave to visit these sacred places, but were transformed into completely different beings through their pilgrimage by continuously exhausting themselves during their journey. The tens of thousands of pilgrims who have now chosen to fly to the Sacred Places on this journey will not have transformed themselves into new beings through their pilgrimage; however, they may very well have fulfilled contracts made with deities or their late ancestors. They will have taken part in an entirely different experience than pilgrims took part in for twelve hundred years. Instead of arriving exhausted, dehydrated, and gasping for breath, they will arrive in a wakeful and present way.
Did you know that Uttarakhand is called Devbhoomi, or the 'Land of Gods'? There is a reason behind this name, and trust us, it is not just a marketing gimmick. Rather, there is a truth that anyone who spends any amount of time and days in these mountains instinctively knows, that the features of this landscape were arranged with intention. You will witness sharp, rough cliffs, canyons, high scale himalayan ranges with heights greater than 6,000 meters, glaciers pouring into thundering river valleys. All of the above represent a mystical region where things outside of the 'normal' realm are closer than anywhere else on earth. Apart from that, there are more than a thousand temples and shrines located in the land of gods, throughout Uttarakhand; the Vedic texts contain references to the various mountains, Puranic texts provide names for its many rivers; and it is said that the Mahabharata was written in a cave located approximately three kilometres from Badrinath. So, as you depart from the ground at Dehra Dun and see the towering snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas fill your view through your windscreen, you are transcending into a new land.
