Dehradun charter guide

Charter to Dehradun lands at Jolly Grant Airport (DED), between Dehradun and Rishikesh. Its runway is about 7,000 ft, which suits business jets and turboprops.

For most visitors Dehradun is a gateway, not the destination. Mussoorie, Rishikesh and the Garhwal hills are a short drive or a helicopter hop away. For the Char Dham and other high sites, a helicopter continues from the valley, because there is no runway where you are going.

From Delhi, Dehradun is only about 210 km in a straight line. A helicopter can fly the whole way from Delhi, so a trip to the hills can be one aircraft instead of two.

Mountain weather decides helicopter flying here. Low cloud and rain in the monsoon months can stop flights for hours or days, so leave slack in the plan.
