Although the heli ride costs way more than the traditional road route, devotees swear by the chopper services and think that the helicopter flight is worth the price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_Tips_for_Pilgrims_and_Travellers\"><\/span>Pro Tips for Pilgrims and Travellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Booking your helicopter flight from the Sahastradhara Helipad? Then here are some things you should keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Book Early<\/strong>: Always book your helicopter services from the helipads in advance \u2013 at least 1-2 months prior to your actual travel date. The seats fill up fast, especially if you\u2019re going on a Chardham Yatra in its peak season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight Limit<\/strong>: The weight limit per person is set to be 75\u201385 kg. If you weigh more than this, you might have to pay extra charges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical Fitness<\/strong>: If you\u2019re flying in a helicopter, you must be physically fit. This is especially enforced if you&#8217;re going for a Kedarnath Yatra, which is located at a very high altitude of 11,755 ft. You\u2019ll be required to produce a medical certificate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel Insurance<\/strong>: This is not compulsory, but highly recommended. The weather disruption and technical snags can cause problems in your trip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refund Policy<\/strong>: As per the UCADA SOPs, all the helicopter operators provide 100% refund of the booking amount if you cancel because of weather or safety issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weather Dependence<\/strong>:\u00a0Your flying duration can be increased because of factors like bad weather, technical issues, or government permissions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight Restrictions<\/strong>:\u00a0A helicopter takes only 6 passengers at a time and has to satisfy the total weight limit of 445 kg.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rescheduling<\/strong>:\u00a0The rescheduling facility is also available. However, it largely depends on availability. Some extra fee might also need to be paid for rescheduling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sahastradhara Helipad is a well-equipped aviation hub that offers comfortable pilgrimage services as well as regional connectivity.
