Jolly Grant Airport (DED), Dehradun is your departure point for the Chardham Yatra by helicopter. Dehradun is approximately 650+ km from Kanpur — and Kanpur has a rare advantage: a direct daily overnight train to Dehradun with no transfer required.
By Direct Train — 13.5 hrs (Best Value & Most Convenient)
The Subedarganj Dehradun Express (14113) is the only direct daily train from Kanpur Central to Dehradun — departing at 22:50 and arriving at Dehradun at 12:20 the next day, covering 670 km in 13 hours 30 minutes. Fares from ₹370 (Sleeper) to ₹1,430 (2AC). Board at night from Kanpur Central, wake up in Dehradun the next morning — no transfer, no hassle, spiritually prepared for the yatra.
Tip: Book this train 30–45 days ahead during Char Dham season (May–June) — it’s the most popular option among Kanpur pilgrims and fills up fast.
By Flight via Delhi — 4 hrs (Fastest)
The fastest way from Kanpur to Dehradun is by flight via Delhi, taking approximately 4 hours total. Take a cab or bus from Kanpur to Lucknow Airport (1 hr), fly to Delhi, then connect to Dehradun on IndiGo or Air India. Fares from ₹4,000. Best for pilgrims who want same-morning arrival in Dehradun.
By Private Car — 8.5 hrs
Driving from Kanpur to Dehradun covers approximately 556 km and takes around 8 hours 21 minutes. Route: Kanpur → Lucknow Bypass → Bareilly → Moradabad → Haridwar → Dehradun. Perfect for families and groups wanting door-to-door comfort with the option to halt at Haridwar for a Ganga snan before the yatra begins.
By Bus via Delhi — Budget Option (17 hrs)
Take a bus from Kanpur to Delhi (8 hours 30 minutes, ₹550), then a connecting bus from Delhi to Dehradun (8 hours, ₹550). Best as a backup option if trains and flights are fully booked during peak season.
Jolly Grant Airport / Dehradun Station → Hotel / Helipad

Chardham Yatra Consultant



Shivkhori's Chardham Yatra by Helicopter package price is mention above . The package includes luxury accommodations, VIP darshan at all four Dhams, helicopter transfers between each shrine, all meals, expert guides, and Dehradun airport transfers. It does not include your Kanpur–Dehradun travel — book that separately 30–45 days ahead. Call +91 86199 58822 for current pricing, group rates, and early bird offers.
The Subedarganj Dehradun Express (14113) is the only direct daily train from Kanpur Central, departing at 22:50 and arriving at Dehradun at 12:20 the next day — 13 hours 30 minutes, no transfer required. Alternatively, the fastest option is by flight via Delhi, taking approximately 4 hours total. Private car (8.5 hrs) is also a popular choice for families. Shivkhori.in arranges your Dehradun station or airport transfer as part of the package.
Plan for 7–8 days total from Kanpur — 1 day travel to Dehradun, the 5N/6D Chardham Yatra by Helicopter package, and 1 buffer day before your return. The buffer is essential — weather delays occasionally push helicopter schedules by a day, especially during early June. Never book a critical Kanpur commitment on the same day the package ends.
Book at least 6–8 weeks in advance for the May–June peak season. The Subedarganj Dehradun Express fills up extremely fast during Char Dham season — so book your train ticket simultaneously with the helicopter package. January–February bookings for May consistently secure the best pricing. September–October is an excellent off-peak alternative with cooler Himalayan temperatures and thinner crowds.
Absolutely — eliminating high-altitude trekking and long mountain road journeys is the primary reason Kanpur families choose the helicopter package. Shivkhori.in provides dedicated on-ground assistance at every Dham for elderly pilgrims, wheelchair support at Dehradun station and airport, and medical coordination throughout the journey. Inform the team about any health conditions at the time of booking for advance arrangements.
Every pilgrim must carry a valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar card, PAN card, Passport, or Voter ID. The Uttarakhand Government mandates biometric registration for all pilgrims — Shivkhori.in handles the full registration process on your behalf. Carry your printed booking confirmation and travel insurance documents for a smooth, hassle-free experience at every checkpoint.
The helicopter baggage limit is strictly 2 kg per person — no exceptions. Pack light: warm layers (Kedarnath and Badrinath temperatures drop to 5–8°C even in June), personal medication, ID documents, and a small prayer kit. Shivkhori.in arranges secure luggage storage at your Dehradun hotel for any additional bags you bring from Kanpur.
The Chardham Yatra by helicopter departs from Sahastradhara Helipad in Dehradun, with helicopters taking off at 7:00 AM sharp. Pilgrims are advised to report one hour before scheduled departure. Shivkhori.in books your Dehradun hotel the night before and arranges the morning helipad transfer — so you arrive rested, on time, and spiritually prepared.
Yes — Shivkhori.in specialises in group and family bookings from Kanpur. Packages are fully customisable for groups of any size — from couples and nuclear families to large joint families and pilgrim groups of 20+. Special arrangements are available for senior citizens, children, and pilgrims with health conditions. Group bookings attract preferential pricing — call +91 86199 58822 for a personalised group quote.
Weather delays are a natural reality of a Himalayan pilgrimage. Shivkhori.in builds buffer time into the 5N/6D itinerary to absorb one delay day without disrupting the overall schedule. VIP helicopter packages include full logistical support and emergency assistance to manage any disruptions smoothly. Kanpur pilgrims should book their return journey at least 2 days after the package end date — never on the same day the yatra concludes.
I went with my wife. From Dehradun, the helicopter felt steady and safe. At Kharsali, we took a palki to Yamunotri, so no knee pain. In Harsil, the air was cool and clean. The shuttle to Kedarnath saved time, and Badrinath darshan felt calm. Staff spoke politely, carried our small bags, and kept tea ready after flights. Rooms were simple and warm. We prayed without rushing and came back lighter in heart. Worth it.

We travelled with parents and two kids. The crew handled check-in fast, then the helicopter lifted us above the green valleys—kids were thrilled. At Gangotri, a helper walked slowly with my father. Rain started in Harsil, but ponchos arrived within minutes. Kedarnath darshan was smooth; a marshal guided us straight to the gate. Badrinath felt divine. Hotels were clean, food was hot, and transfers were always on time. My parents kept smiling all day.

I went with my wife. From Dehradun, the helicopter felt steady and safe. At Kharsali, we took a palki to Yamunotri, so no knee pain. In Harsil, the air was cool and clean. The shuttle to Kedarnath saved time, and Badrinath darshan felt calm. Staff spoke politely, carried our small bags, and kept tea ready after flights. Rooms were simple and warm. We prayed without rushing and came back lighter in heart. Worth it.

I had limited leave, so this plan helped. We finished all four dhams in five days without feeling tired. Early mornings were crisp; chai at Sersi tasted perfect. The pilots looked so calm and even the ground team kept us moving without any delay. When I saw Kedarnath temple in morning, I felt so blessed. In Badrinath, we sat for a few minutes and simply breathed. Rooms were tidy, blankets warm, and vehicles clean. Short trip, big peace. I’m glad we chose this.

My wife and I wanted a quiet yatra. We got exactly that. Checklists were clear, timings were respected, and there was no crowding around us. At Yamunotri, priests guided us kindly. Gangotri’s bells and river sound stayed in my head for days. The ride to Kedarnath was quick; walking the last stretch slowly felt fine. Badrinath darshan ended with a calm mind. Nothing fancy, just careful people and a peaceful route.

I feared steep climbs. This plan removed that fear. From Kharsali, I took a palki and felt safe all the way. At Kedarnath, the walk was short, and a staff member offered an arm near the steps. I prayed without hurry. We ate simple dal-rice and slept early. The next day, Badrinath felt warm and welcoming. I came home lighter, with faith strong and body not tired. For me, it was perfect.
