Hello there! Welcome to the forum!
I will be arriving in Delhi from Dallas, and I wanted to know what arrangements can be made to start the yatra?
There are several tour agencies that arrange for the
char dham yatra from Delhi. Also, the IRCTC also has a package for the
char dham yatra from Delhi. You can opt for regular transportation services or even a helicopter service for the
char dham yatra.
Is there a service that provides the Chardham Yatra by helicopter from Delhi?
Unfortunately, there are no tour agencies that operate helicopters directly from Delhi to the
char dham yatra. From Delhi, you would need to go to Dehradun for the helipad from which helicopters depart to reach the yatra. Here are the tour agencies providing a
