Badrinath Yatra by Helicopter Starting from @ Rs.1,10,000/-Per Person

• Skanda Purana testifies that although there are a million sacred shrines of Vishnu upon earth, none comes close to the spiritual sanctity instilled in Badrinath Shrine. But, it is widely believed that a pilgrimage to Badrinath shrine would be deemed incomplete without a prior visitation to Kedarnath shrine. Char Dham pilgrimage culminates at Badrinath, so does the revered Panch Badri. One can estimate its importance from the fact that not only does Badrinath form an integral part of Himalayan char dham but also of the all India Char dham initiated by Adi Shankaracharya in eighth century CE.
• The present idol worshipped in Badrinath is said to have been discovered by Adi Shankaracharya from a recess in Alaknanda River. It was first installed in a cave near the hot water springs at Tapt Kund. It was in the sixteenth century that the King of Garhwal moved the shrine to its present abode. But do not assume that the temple’s origin goes back to only eighth century. In fact, references of the temple abound in Vishnu Purana, Skanda Purana and Divya Prabandha etc.
• The earliest of the references on the dham can be found in the legend of Nar and Narayan. The sages Nar and Narayan are said to have been the prior incarnation of Sri Krishna and Arjuna. They sought a sacred land that could build the sacred space for their spiritual ascetic practices meant to bring in welfare for all living beings. This is the land they chose to engage in their spiritual practices for thousands of years. The land rendered holier by the intense spiritual practice began to be venerated as Badrinath.
