Who We Are

A Charter Built Around The Divine Yatra

Uttara Tourism is an Authorized Channel Partner of HELIPASS, flying FAA USA certified helicopter charters to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri from Dehradun — so pilgrims spend their time in darshan, not on the road.

Our Story

Solving The One Problem Every Pilgrim Faces: Time

Uttara Tourism was started to solve one problem: the drive to Kedarnath and Badrinath takes days pilgrims often don't have. We operate scheduled and chartered helicopter flights from Sahastradhara and Kangri Helipads, run by pilots trained specifically for high-altitude Himalayan terrain.

Every flight is planned around real mountain weather, not just a fixed timetable — our team would rather delay a departure by an hour than compromise on safety. That philosophy has carried thousands of pilgrims, including elderly parents and first-time flyers, safely to darshan and back.

Three Commitments We Don't Compromise On

Safety First, Always

Weather Over Schedule

Every departure is reviewed against real mountain weather. We reschedule rather than risk a flight, and we keep pilgrims informed on WhatsApp throughout.

Direct booking on WhatsApp with no travel-agent layers — transparent pricing, a dedicated yatra escort, and a personal yatra manager on every package.

What Pilgrims Say About Flying With Us

★★★★★

"My parents couldn't manage the road trip anymore. The Do Dham flight meant they could still do the Yatra comfortably, and the team handled every detail."

"Booked the Char Dham package for our family. Well organised from the helipad pickup to the darshan slots — worth every rupee for the time saved."
