Dehradun — the capital of Uttarakhand — is one of the best-positioned cities in India for Char Dham Yatra. It's just 54km from Haridwar by road and only 24km from the Jolly Grant Airport. Pilgrims flying in from Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, or Hyderabad land at Dehradun and are in Haridwar within 40 minutes. Dehradun is also the departure point for all Char Dham helicopter packages — flights depart from Sahastradhara Helipad, just 10km from city centre.
