Pilgrimage Aviation

Pilgrimage Aviation is a helicopter operator based in New Delhi that holds a DGCA non scheduled operator permit. It flies an Airbus H125, a single engine helicopter with strong high altitude performance, and says its team has 12 years of experience.

The company's main focus is helicopter pilgrimage travel to the Char Dham, the four Himalayan shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath in Uttarakhand. It offers a full Char Dham Yatra package over six days and five nights, a Do Dham package to two of the shrines over four days and three nights, and a Do Dham same day return. By road, the full circuit takes well over a week on mountain roads, so helicopters cut the journey sharply, especially for older pilgrims.

Beyond pilgrimage flights, the company offers VIP corporate and business charters, air ambulance and emergency services, aerial work, sightseeing flights and election flying for campaign travel.

The company says it has completed around 10,000 tours and carried around 19,000 travellers. It publishes travel guidance for passengers, including rules on dangerous goods and liquids in hand luggage. For pilgrims from Delhi and across India, it is one of the operators specialising in Char Dham helicopter journeys.
