New 'Busman's Holiday' coming ! - More to follow... #LeCorbusier
A trip long in the making and follows on from previous ‘Busman’s Holidays’ of Frank Lloyd Wright etc. Here’s the last one on Taliesin West which links to previous ones too.
So this trip is essentially a Le Corbusier pilgrimage. Not all the buildings but a few key ones in France; as well as Eileen Gray’s E-1027 added too.
Don’t worry – not walking it – Interrail again

Why 4,000 Pilgrims Choose a Helicopter for Their Char Dham Yatra
TL;DR: Char Dham Yatra by helicopter compresses the 10-12 day road pilgrimage across Uttarakhand into 5-6 days, removing long mountain drives and the steep Kedarnath trek. It has become the default choice for senior pilgrims, families on limited leave, and NRIs visiting India for a short window.
What is Char Dham Yatra by helicopter?
Char Dham Yatra by helicopter is a guided pilgrimage that flies devotees to all four Himalayan shrines of Uttarakhand - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath - instead of covering the circuit by road. Saffron Chariot, a Haridwar-based travel company founded in 2020, has flown more than 4,000 pilgrims on this circuit, the oldest of them 82 years of age.
Why pilgrims switch from road to air?
The traditional road Yatra is beautiful but demanding: 1,600+ km of mountain driving, daily hotel changes,and for Kedarnath a steep 16 km trek from Gaurikund. For three groups, that cost is too high:
What a well-run helicopter Yatra includes?
A serious operator covers helicopter sectors, hotels near the helipads, all meals, ground transfers and VIP darshan arrangements at each temple. Flights operate on DGCA-compliant aircraft flown by licensed Non Scheduled Operator Permit holders, and every reputable company will tell you plainly: schedules are subject to weather and regulatory clearance. Mountain weather changes fast, and buffer time in the itinerary is a feature, not a flaw.
The season
Temples open in April and close around November. May-June and September-October offer the most stable flying weather, and helicopter seats for peak weeks sell out months ahead. If you are weighing the options for 2026, start with the detailed itineraries in these Char Dham Yatra by helicopter packages - they spell out day-by-day routing, inclusions and honest weather caveats.
FAQ
Q: How many days does Char Dham Yatra by helicopter take? A: 5-6 days covers all four shrines Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath - versus 10-12 days by road.
Q: Is helicopter Yatra safe for senior citizens? A: It removes the trek and long drives, which is why seniors choose it. Pilgrims with heart or respiratory conditions should consult a doctor first, since the shrines sit at high altitude.
Q: Where does the helicopter Yatra start? A: From Sahastradhara Helipad in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Most operators arrange pickup from Dehradun or Haridwar.
Q: Who actually flies the helicopters? A: DGCA-licensed NSOP operators certified for high-altitude Himalayan flying. Travel companies book sectors with them; ask any operator which aviation firms they
use.
Q: Can bad weather cancel flights? A: Yes. All Himalayan helicopter operations are subject to weather and regulatory clearance. Good itineraries build in buffer time and clear refund terms.
