Rashmi Negi is the Founder of Udan Aviation, Dehradun's ISO-certified Chardham Yatra helicopter operator. She holds an MBA in Tourism Management and brings 16 years of experience across India's travel, tourism, and aviation industry to every decision the company makes.
She founded Udan Aviation after identifying a critical gap in how helicopter-based pilgrimage services were being delivered in Uttarakhand — specifically the absence of any operator genuinely designed around the needs of elderly pilgrims, mobility-challenged devotees, and NRI families booking sacred journeys from abroad.
Under her leadership, Udan Aviation has served 3,000+ pilgrims across every Chardham season with a zero safety-incident record — a standard she considers non-negotiable, not exceptional.
Rashmi writes about Chardham Yatra by helicopter , pilgrimage tourism in Uttarakhand, helicopter aviation safety, and the practical and spiritual dimensions of India's most sacred Himalayan pilgrimage circuit.
