Helicopter flight safety is paramount to the trip and we reserve the right to shuffle passengers in order to meet the adequate weight requirement of the helicopter flights. This could result in passengers who are travelling together not being able to fly together in the helicopter. Please be aware of this beforehand.
FIXED FLIGHT TIMINGS: Helicopters run on fixed schedules and therefore passengers are required to show up on time as per the scheduled ETDs. Also, the flight timings can change just a day before your Do Dham Yatra by Helicopter trip, subject to force majeure/weather reasons.
You will get the final confirmed flight schedule and reporting time one day prior to the actual trip.
All passengers are required to provide their precise weights at the time of helicopter boarding. Submitting wrong weights may result in getting debarred from the flight and becoming ineligible for refunds.
Baggage Allowance: Each passenger can bring on board one bag which can carry a maximum of 5 kg. Due to limited space in the helicopter, avoid bringing suitcases or big bags.
Kedarnath Shuttle Service: There is a shuttle service that transfers the passengers to Kedarnath Ji. There is a chance that passengers that are travelling together may not be seated on the same shuttle.
There is a possibility of a sudden increase in taxes or other levies which are controlled by the state government and the temple authorities respectively. Passengers should be ready to pay the surplus amount.

The network connectivity is not the best in the mountain regions like Badrinath and Kedarnath. However, telecom networks like Jio and BSNL still fare better than other service providers.

Health Advisory for Do Dham Yatra by Helicopter

Both Badrinath and Kedarnath are located high in the mountains, at altitudes of 10500 ft – 11500 ft. So, it’s always advised to acclimatize yourself.
