During the summer months of May and June, it is sunny and the weather remains quite pleasant. You can wear light clothes. However, due to high altitude, the climate is unpredictable and changes abruptly from sunny weather to heavy rain which suddenly makes the weather cold and freezing. Make sure to carry a waterproof raincoat and pants along with good quality woollen sweaters, socks, gloves, and a warm cap.

Expect pure Sattvic, vegetarian food at the Chardhams. Dishes like Dal, veggies, with Chapatis are readily available.

In our Chardham Yatra by helicopter package, we ensure that every passenger enjoys the best available accommodations for a comfortable stay. However, given the remote Himalayan region, the standard of comfort differs from city hotels and remains basic yet adequate.

High-end 5-star luxury hotels are unavailable as most accommodations in these high-altitude areas remain closed for six months and operate only during the Yatra season. Despite these challenges, we provide the best possible stay options, ensuring cleanliness, safety, and a pleasant experience.
