Badrinath by helicopter
Badrinath temple lies at about 3,100 m in Uttarakhand, one of the four Char Dham shrines. The road from Rishikesh is long and often hit by landslides, so many visitors combine Badrinath with Kedarnath on a multi-day Char Dham helicopter itinerary from Dehradun. SkyMatch coordinates private requests with licensed operators. Price on request.
