"Do Dham Yatra by helicopter - everything organised properly"

Excellent team of professionals at Saffron Chariot. Highly reliable and committed service. We were a team of 8 persons with four above 80 years old, and availed Do Dham Yatra by helicopter. Everything was organised properly. Hotel booking was in 3-star properties at very good locations. Every location contact person was very helpful and committed. Mr Rajkumar was our contact person and he helped us throughout our trip. Highly recommended.

"Kedarnath and Badrinath family trip - everything well planned"

We are very much satisfied and happy with Saffron Chariot. They organized an excellent travel plan for us from Delhi to Kedarnath and Badrinath. Everything was well planned and authentic. Our group of 12 members enjoyed the trip immensely. The tempo traveller provided was good and comfortable. The hotels were of good quality, and the meals were tasty. Special arrangements at the Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham premises allowed us to visit the mandirs 3-4 times during our one-night stay, which was a highlight. While we faced some water issues at Sonprayag and Badrinath, the support was exemplary - available 24/7 and promptly answering our calls. Our planner, Ravi, was very disciplined and supportive. Highly recommend their services for a well-organized pilgrimage.

"Arranged from the UK - an outstanding Char Dham Yatra"

Right from planning to booking and organising, and ending it all on a good note - Saffron Chariot has been outstanding. I arranged this trip from the UK after doing a little research and it turned out to be a very successful Char Dham Yatra. Our travel consultant Shrushti was super in responding and arranging places of our choice. She was courteous, professional and very keen to help. The car was in very good condition and comfortable, and our driver was very experienced and accommodating.
