Planning Essentials
Booking In Advance
Traveling during May to October can fill up the schedule fast so it’s best to book helicopter seats well in advance. One month prior is optimal, although for some it seems like waiting until a week prior is the sweet spot due to the early booking option for Kedarnath.
Documents & Medical Fitness
Aadhar card or passport must be presented.
Traveling to Kedarnath may require a medical fitness certificate, particularly for the elderly and heart patients who are advised to carry portable oxygen and seek medical advice.
Luggage & Weight Restrictions
Generally, a strict allowance of 5 kg per passenger (duffel bag only) is enforced.
Passengers are required to honestly state their weight; helicopters have a 450 kg limit per flight.
Excess Weight Fees: ~₹2,100 over 75 kg.
Prices & Packages
These items may serve as guidelines for future pricing:
VIP darshan, meals, and accommodation included in a 4N/5
Safety & Regulations
Helicopter flights observe various DGCA restrictions, including: load limit, weather protections, sanitation protocols, and helicopter hygiene.
In June 2025, a tragic crash during a Kedarnath–Guptkashi flight claimed 7 lives, prompting immediate scrutiny and short suspension of some operators.
Safety improvements are ongoing, but always anticipate weather related delays.
Preparing for Altitude & Weather
Himalayas are prone to sudden weather changes; summer doesn’t guarantee warmer temperatures.
Dress in warm, waterproof outer layers to withstand heavy rain.
Maintain fluid intake; dehydration increases the risk of altitude sickness, a common condition.
Bring altitude sickness medication, such as diamox, but only after talking with your doctor.
VIP Darshan & Cultural Touches
Typically included in most packages is VIP darshan which allows bypassing long queues for elderly and disabled pilgrims.
• Enhancements:
Maha Abhishek Pooja at Badrinath
Palki rides at Yamunotri
Local village visits (e.g., Mana)
Stay in heritage or boutique hotels to fully immerse yourself into the unique Himalayan culture.
Traveler Experiences & Tips
