Twelve shrines, across the width of India.
The 12 Jyotirlingas are spread across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. No single helicopter covers all twelve in one trip.
What we do arrange: helicopter access for the Kedarnath leg, and private charter between the regional clusters below, in place of commercial flights and trains for the parts of the journey where that genuinely helps.
- Western cluster: Somnath and Nageshwar, near Rajkot / Jamnagar / Dwarka
- Central-western cluster: Bhimashankar, Trimbakeshwar, and Grishneshwar, near Pune / Nashik / Aurangabad
- Central cluster: Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar, near Indore / Ujjain
- Northern leg: Kashi Vishwanath near Varanasi, Vaidyanath near Deoghar
- Himalayan leg: Kedarnath, staged from Dehradun, helicopter access where terrain requires it
- Southern leg: Mallikarjuna near Hyderabad, Rameshwaram near Madurai
A full 12-site yatra typically combines commercial flights, trains, and road transfers over 10 to 15 days. Share which clusters or legs you want to charter, and a flight advisor will confirm what's realistic.
Tell us which Jyotirlingas you plan to visit and your dates. A flight advisor will confirm real availability for the legs that make sense to charter.
Plan your yatraFrequently asked questions
Can BookAir fly me to all 12 Jyotirlingas in one trip?
No single aircraft covers all twelve, since they span eight states from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu. A full circuit genuinely combines commercial flights, trains, and road transfers. We arrange charter for specific legs, most commonly the Kedarnath helicopter access, and private transfers within a regional cluster.
Which leg is most commonly chartered?
Kedarnath. It sits in Himalayan terrain with no runway access, and the alternative is a demanding trek, pony, or palanquin route. This is the same helicopter access we arrange for the Char Dham circuit.
Is registration required for Kedarnath?
Yes. Uttarakhand requires official yatra registration for every pilgrim heading to Kedarnath, whether by helicopter or road. We'll guide you through what's needed.
Is this suitable for elderly or less mobile travelers?
Yes, particularly for the Kedarnath leg, which is the most physically demanding part of the full circuit. Helicopter charter removes the trek entirely.
How should I plan the route?
Most pilgrims group the 12 sites into regional clusters, such as Gujarat's Somnath and Nageshwar, or Madhya Pradesh's Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar, rather than crossing the country repeatedly. Share your priorities and a flight advisor will help sequence a realistic route.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible for the Kedarnath leg specifically, since helicopter slots during peak season fill up quickly.
