After ruling for 36 years Yudhishthira coronated parikshith as the emperor of kuru dynasty and left the kingdom along with other padavas and their wife draupati to mount mandara in himalayas.
Only Yudhishthira completes his journey to the peak of mount mandara which gives him opportunity to go heaven with his physical body while others fell and die.

Sadhguru explains wonderfully...
Why only yudhisthira made it to heaven while others fell and die?
How Yudhishthira won over hatred against kauravas and became jaya, went to heaven along with his brothers?

Duryodhana along with his brothers went to heaven. It was the very nature of his death that took him to heaven.

The great ancestor Kuru (after whom the land around Hastina-puri called as Kuru-kshetra) kept tilling the earth using his flesh as seed and blood as water until an exasperated Indra appeared, asked him why. Kuru said he wanted nothing for himself but his only wish was that those who die on the land tilled by him would ascend to paradise instantly. Indra accepted to this on one condition. It was not enough to die in Kuru-kshetra; the manner of death mattered too: either death by renunciation or death in war.

Since Duryodhana died as a valiant warrior on the battlefield, he ascended to heaven.
