Due to this reason, passengers who are traveling together may not be allowed to sit in the same helicopter. You should be prepared for this beforehand.
• FIXED FLIGHT TIMINGS: Being a Fixed Daily Departure Helicopter tour, each destination’s departure timings are fixed. Therefore, passengers are required to report according to the scheduled ETDs. However, we reserve the right to postpone/change the flying timings one day before the yatra, subject to force majeure/weather reasons.
• Our team will confirm the reporting time one day before the tour in the evening.

Health Advisory

• Both Kedarnath and Badrinath Dhams are located between 10500 ft – 11500 ft surrounded by breathtaking sceneries. Kedarnath Dham is situated at 11500 ft. Since the duration of the Do Dham yatra is only one day, you won’t get much time to acclimatize yourself therefore you should always catch your breath and go slow. If you exert yourself, you may develop acute mountain sickness (AMS) which may affect the lungs and brain.
• Some of the common high-altitude ailments include acute mountain sickness (AMS) which is a common type of mountain sickness that occurs after ascending to altitudes above 2500 m. Some of the symptoms that you may experience include breathing problems, nausea, vomiting, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, weakness, difficulty sleeping, and dizziness. Another ailment includes High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) which is a severe form of AMS. It is caused due to brain tissue swelling which may hamper the brain eventually. The illness often occurs at night and can even lead to death/coma within hours. Some of its symptoms include headache, fatigue, swelling of brain tissue, visual impairment, bowel dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, partial paralysis, and disorientation.
• You may also experience High Altitude Pulmonary Edema resulting in respiratory failure because of the fluid accumulation in the lungs. HAPE typically starts at night (when you climb in high-altitude areas on the second night of climbing). This ailment progresses rapidly and in the worst cases leads to fatality within hours. Some of its symptoms include shortness of breath even while relaxing, bright red stained sputum, persistent dry cough, weakness, fatigue, congestion, drowsiness, chest tightness, and increased heart rate. If you’re young you will be more susceptible to this ailment.
