Badrinath, the ultimate closure of Char Dham Yatra
Visiting Dham’s is one of the most important events in one’s life. Especially, these days everyone has been so occupied and busy, they have lost touch with their spirits. As the schedule gets busier, and deadlines are nearer, your heart feels heavier. Isn’t that correct? Probably, that’s how everyone feels these days. No time to even breathe or spend time with family. Then what should you do? Definitely spend some time with family and loved ones by taking a day or two off. And, here is the real twist. We have a big surprise for you! Yes and that is, you can visit your desired Dhams for Spiritual Healing and family time. Time to restore your relationship with divine beings, yourself and your family.
You might have heard many stories and probably seen many Instagram updates of your acquaintances posting about their spiritual and adventurous experiences. Which eventually brought them closer with the spiritual being. Talking about Chardham, we understand it takes days and it requires a lot of time. That’s why for your convenience we have curated a weekend trip for you as Badrinath Yatra by helicopter. Many of our devotees and seekers who have traveled to Badrinath have shared heartfelt and moving experiences of standing in the divine presence of Badri Narayan in the lamp-lit inner sanctum. They felt that this was so incredible when the feeling of suspending searching occurred. It means that when they felt that daily worldly laws were being suspended from their normal state. It felt out of the world. Badrinath is located at 3133 meters that is 10,900 feet above sea level on the shores of Aklankanda River. And when you look around, you will be able to see the majestic snow-capped Neelkanth Peak, which is also known as "Garhwal Queen,". Neelkanth peak is under snow the whole time of the year. This peak in Himalaya is addressed as the most beautiful view by many deep thinkers and creative writers. Badrinath is known as the sacred home of Vishnu, the preserver of creation, the embodiment of cosmic love. Indeed the moving love act that embraces everyone and every thing in this universe.
Pilgrims feel awakened in spirit at different Dhams, but in a different sense. Such as the awakening of Yamunotri, purified at Gangotri, and transformed at Kedarnath occur in their proper place for all pilgrims to reach the completion, that is Badrinath. Lastly, the feeling of peace and grace in the presence of Lord Badri Narayan who has been in his ever-lasting meditation in this valley before being born as the actual temple. And even before the ability to pray and for him will always receive the prayers, burdens, and most pressing desires of any pilgrim who has travelled to visit him. Well, this is The ultimate Badrinath Yatra.
Badrinath Yatra, via helicopter from the Sahastradhara Helipad, one night, two days, flying directly to the final Dham, gives you enough window to explore in a more advanced way, without missing out on anything. Starting from the arrival at the helipad to this entire experience versus the weeks that the traditional mountain road circuit would take. The reason why it’s so rewarding is, because it is beloved that Lord Vishnu is the god of Ten avatars. His most perfect and permanent home is Badrinath. Each of Vishnu's Ten Avatars are Nath Avatars. And the tenth one is the most famous and beloved incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Badrinath is a Place for the Universe to Rest
As a four-part pilgrimage, the Chardham Yatra is a complete spiritual journey, and Badrinath represents the final leg of that journey and is the most famous of the four shrines within the Yatra. Many people say that when they finally arrive in Badrinath, they feel as if they have been transformed by both the power of the place and the spiritual divine touch, it becomes the most defining moment of their lives. As The Alaknanda River flows like water rushing down from glaciers, this is the same river that flows south from the mountains surrounding Badrinath, through Joshimath, and through Devprayag, eventually merging with the Ganges River. Then you get to witness the most glorious, Neelkanth Peak directly above Badrinath at 6,596 meters. It has snow on top of it year-round and was named after Lord Shiva because he drank the poison from the ocean so he could save the world.
Well, Named after the Badri tree, the Indian jujube. Badrinath is known as the place of worship which was earlier home to a thick forest of Badri trees. According to the Ancient texts, it refers to Goddess Lakshmi who assumed the form of the Badri tree to give shade and protect Lord Vishnu while he meditated. Depending on the text, Badrinath means either the “Lord of the Badri Forest”. We recommend our devotees and seekers before you enter the temple of Badrinath, before seeing Lord Badri Narayan in person, and before having a complete experience with Lord Badri Narayan is the Tapt Kund. The Tapt Kund is a natural hot spring emerging from the earth immediately below the temple complex. The average temperature of the water is 45 degrees Celsius and is warmed continuously, even though it is surrounded by freezing temperatures in the mountains of the Himalaya. According to the Sacred texts, this water was sanctified by Lord Agni also known as the deity of fire. This is such a moment of peace. When you step into Tapt Kund after your helicopter flight to Badrinath at a height of 3,133 metres, your body will be acclimatizing to the altitude and its muscles may hold tension from travel. So taking a short dip in Tapt kund will help. Additionally, your body will still partially remember the normal world you left before beginning the journey to Badrinath. The overnight visit to Badrinath represents the connection between the helicopter yatra experience and the real pilgrimage experience. The evening aarti is conducted with fewer included participants and is considered function for pilgrims who have the rare honour of witnessing the temple prepare to rest for the night. The experience at Badrinath during the night includes the Neelkanth mountain glowing in the reflection of the moon and stars, the sounds of the Alaknanda river flowing below your feet, and the freshness of the cold crisp air in the Himalayas.
The experience at Badrinath during the morning dharshan includes, entering the temple in the first light of a Himalayan morning before tourists have crowded the temple grounds; standing before Lord Badri Narayan in the quiet of the early morning; and experiencing a divinely intimate personal encounter that is free from hurry.
We must say, that your over all pilgrimage experience begins when you arrange for helicopter service to Badrinath before reserving your accommodation, which are as close as possible to the temple and are very comfortable in the mountain setting; the entire yatra experience will include vegetarian meals; and the entire group has hired expert guides to ensure you enjoy both the creative and spiritual aspects of the entire yatra experience.
