The rearranging of your luggage is done a day before the flight to ensure you board your flight on time. The hotel has storage space for the extra baggage. Driving time to the Sahastradhara helipad is roughly ten minutes from the hotel. We take off for the Kharsali helipad. After being greeted by our staff in Kharsali and checking into your hotel, we will start traveling to Yamunotri Dham. Depending on their availability, we can use horses or palkis.

- Each passenger is only allowed to carry a maximum of 5 kg of luggage, and we will give you a duffel bag when you get to Dehradun. Leave extra luggage at the hotel before departing for a helipad. You can collect your luggage after the tour is over.
- Because of the high elevations of all the temples in the Chardham sector, travelers should bring their medication. It gets chilly at these locations in the evening, so travelers should carry warm clothing.
- Weighing at the time of boarding the helicopter is essential because the pilot will refuse to board if the weight is more than that stated at the time of booking. We also reserve the right to reorganize the passengers to manage the proper weight for safe flying in the hills.
- As a result, clients should carry medical fitness certificates from a doctor before embarking on their journey and bring their prescribed and emergency medications.
- In case of overstaying at any Dham due to bad weather or other unavoidable reasons, the guests must bear the expenses for lodging and boarding and pay them directly at the hotel.

We will cancel the trip if the weather does not permit it the next day, and a refund will be given, after deducting the cost of lodging, meals, and transportation in Dehradun, as well as INR 15,000 per person for flight planning fees within 15 days.
- We will try to fly the following day if the guests are stuck at one of the Dhams due to poor weather, but in that case, we might have to visit two Dhams or destinations in one day to make up for the time lost the previous day. For instance, if visitors become stuck at Gangotri and cannot travel to Kedarnath, we will visit both Kedarnath and Badrinath the following day, with the night stop being at Badrinath rather than Kedarnath. Depending on which Dham the visitors are stuck at, the same rule would apply to all of them.

- Excess charges apply at INR 1,500/kg. Passengers weighing over 75 kg will have to pay the amount. However, overweight is only calculated based on the total weight of all group members.
- When planning your trip, we advise having at least one extra day available in Dehradun.
- It would not be permitted for passengers to bring their luggage on board. On the day of arrival, our staff will hand out duffle bags, which guests may use to carry up to 05 kg of luggage within the tour.
- As we have to book hotels at Kedarnath, book your package at least 30 days before the date of arrival.
- Passengers should bring their prescribed first aid medications due to the high altitudes of all the temples in the Chardham sector.
- Damages of any kind sustained by the party during the tour as a result of weather-related events will not be covered by us, and Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, will be the venue for any court proceedings.
- Flying in the hills is also subject to a variety of force majeure events, such as delayed air traffic clearances or permissions, VVIP movements, valley flying by the Indian Air Force (NOTAM), an unexpected technical issue with an aircraft, an ill pilot, or late passenger reporting at helipads, among others. In such cases, passengers must be ready to deal with some inconveniences and eventualities.
- Any medical emergency that affects passengers on the ground is not the responsibility of Helidarshan. Passengers are therefore requested to seek medical advice and have a physical examination performed before embarking on the yatra in their own best interests. If a passenger has a medical condition, they should see a doctor.
- Passengers traveling together might not take the same helicopter flight because we might need to split up groups of passengers to control the weight of the aircraft.
- Helidarshan reserves the right to refuse service to anyone we deem unfit to fly, including passengers who are disruptive, violent, intoxicated, ill, or mentally ill. Such passengers will not receive a refund.
- Passengers will not be permitted to board the aircraft or begin the tour unless full and final payment is received.
