Sammed Shikharji Yatra by Private Helicopter

Sammed Shikharji, located on Parasnath Hill in Jharkhand, is the holiest Jain pilgrimage site where 20 out of 24 Tirthankaras attained Nirvana (Moksha). The yatra traditionally involves a 27 km trek (round trip), but now devotees can opt for a helicopter service for a comfortable and time-efficient darshan.

For elderly pilgrims, families, and time-bound yatris, the helicopter yatra option offers a safe, efficient, and spiritually fulfilling alternative.
