IMPORTANT GUIDELINES & POLICIES

  • In respect of COVID-19, all necessary measures issued by the State & Central Governments would have to be adhered by the passengers. The measures shall be confirmed by HHSPL to the passengers 02-03 weeks prior to the date of arrival. Without adhering to the prescribed measures/requirements, boarding would be denied without any refunds.
  • Guests have to MANDATORILY submit their correct weights at the time of booking. If any change in weight found at the time of their travel, from the submitted weights, which may lead to exceeding of our aircraft weight carrying capacity, guest(s) would be deboarded & cancelled for the Heli-tour, without any refund.
  • In case of a per seat booking: Booking shall be taken by HHSPL on provisional basis and confirmed to the passengers 03 weeks prior to the date of arrival at the latest. Please note, for Dodham (ex-Dehradun) per seat bookings, HHSPL shall fly subject to 04 or more passengers being on board, otherwise provisional booking shall be released, and 100% advance shall be refunded by us.
  • The ETA/ETD timings mentioned in our itinerary are not final. Timings may differ on your date of travel, depending up on weather and other Force Majeure reasons.
  • Guests are advised to have some fruits/light food before boarding flight in the morning on their date of travel.
  • AADHAR & PAN Card copies are to be shared mandatorily by all Indians, & passport is required in case of foreign nationals.

  • Waiting time at Sersi and Kedarnath helipad would be approximately 30 minutes to 02 hours.  
  • Breakfast/lunch can be arranged at either of the Dhams, depending up on the time of departure from Sahastradhara. Only one meal – lunch/breakfast, is included in the tour package.


  • Overweight charges would be charged to guests who are above 80kg weight. The reason for the same is that we operate at very high-altitude terrain, where the weight carrying capacity of the aircraft is only 450 kg. Hence, due to overweight passengers, we lose seats in our sharing flights. Overweight charges are applicable at INR 1,000/kg, for the total weight above 80kg/pax.
  • Baggage up to 5 kg/passenger will be permitted on board.
  • Passengers should carry only one handbag each. Suitcases cannot be carried on board.

  • Confirmation of additional services is to be provided by the guests at the time of confirmation of booking.
  • Both the temples are located at a high altitude. Passengers are advised to carry regular medical kit & woollen clothes with them, as temperatures can drop drastically at night in the hills.
  • Any donations, tips, pitthu and porter charges shall be borne by the guests.
  • Weighing at the time of boarding the helicopter is a must, since the company shall not allow boarding in case the total weight exceeds the weight limitation of the helicopter. And, due to the same reason, in case of more than 01 available aircraft, we reserve the right to shuffle passengers between different groups to manage the right weight of helicopters for safe flying in the hills. 
  • One warm jacket during the Dodham tour will suffice. Further, necessary medicines should be carried along during the period of the tour.
  • Network connectivity at Badrinath is very poor. The only telecom networks that work a bit in the region are BSNL and Jio.
  • When planning your tour, we strongly advise the guests to keep at least one additional day at hand at Dehradun, after the respective travel date, so that they do not end up in problem in case the weather gets very bad on the day of your tour, which may lead to extension of the tour.
  • Flying in hills is subject to weather conditions. And, in regards to our Chardham operations, we would like to bring to your kind attention, that cancellations and other inconveniences due to weather is very much likely, since weather is extremely unpredictable in the hills. Hence, guests should come prepared to face the eventualities in case of weather problems.
