Helicopter and Safety Questions

7.What are the helicopter routes for the tour?

Our helicopter services typically operate on the following routes:

• Neelgrath to Panchtarni and Return: This is the default route for most of our packages, offering a scenic and efficient transfer to the Amarnath cave.
• Pahalgam to Panchtarni and Return:

  This route (Pahalgam to Panchtarni and Return) may be used in certain circumstances, such as unfavorable weather conditions or operational constraints. Please note that there may be an additional charge of Rs 3000 per person for this route.

  We will always prioritize your safety and convenience. If necessary, we may need to adjust the route or mode of transportation.

• Srinagar to Panchtarni and Return: This route is available as a Charter Tour Option. Please note that this option is significantly more expensive than the standard shuttle service from Neelgrath or Pahalgam.

  While the charter option offers a faster travel time, it is highly dependent on weather conditions due to the longer distance and potential challenges associated with high-altitude flying.

  We recommend considering the standard shuttle service unless you have specific requirements or are willing to incur higher costs
