Important Guidelines
As this is NSOP (Non-scheduled operations) flying, flying time for the next day is conveyed to passengers a night prior once the operation plan is finalized in the evening/ night after sunset.
In case of emergency and bad weather scenarios, passengers will be taken back to Dehradun by road.
If there is any technical snag in the helicopter or any sudden testing required there might be a possibility of delay or passenger may fly on the next day. In case of major part failure, your trip may be cancelled in between the Yatra.
There can be a waiting time at every helipad for upto 2 hours approx. depending upon the multiple factors like Bad Weather, NOTAM & other operational challenges etc.
On the last day of the Heli-tour, we will try to depart from Badri as early as possible so that our group is not stuck in the bad weather scenario. In this case we may skip the morning breakfast at Badrinath. In case client wants to have breakfast at Dehradun it will be on an additional cost.
Aadhar Card copy is mandatory to be submitted in advance before the date of flight by all Indian passengers, and Passport in case of foreign nationals.
Any donations, tips, pitthu, palki/pony (except Yamunotri) and porter charges shall be borne by the passengers.
Kedarnath temple has three base camps i.e., Phata/ Guptkashi/ Sersi. In case of big groups, flying in different helicopters may land at different base camps on different helipads. We have to complete the entire yatra as per the group in the same helicopter since each helicopter has different flying timings and permissions.
At each Dham we have our informed handlers and in case of any assistance client has to reach out the handlers.
Any extra night halt except this itinerary due to any circumstances will be borne by the customers and client has to pay the amount on actuals in the hotel directly.
If client wants to stay at Kedarnath top, he/ she has to sign a declaration stating that Traveloi Holiday is not responsible for any service challenges and emergency situations, all the arrangements will be done by our crew members but the payment has to be made by client only on actuals.
Any last-minute customization in the itinerary will not be possible as all the logistics are booked well in advance at the time of booking therefore client needs to update Traveloi Holiday team if there are any add-ons required in the package.
