Before you book

Caution

The Kedarnath helicopter is not in most packages — it costs ₹8,000–₹12,000 one way per person and sells out weeks ahead in peak season. Decide upfront whether you are trekking or flying and book accordingly.

Key point

The ₹18,000–₹1,20,000 price range is not about quality alone — it is almost entirely driven by helicopter inclusion, transport type, and group size. Two packages at the same price can include very different things.

Tip

Pony and doli costs at Yamunotri and Kedarnath are separate — up to ₹18,000 combined for both if needed. If travelling with elderly family members, build this into the budget before comparing operator prices.

Helicopter Services

Kedarnath helicopter tickets sell out weeks in advance during peak season (May and October). Book exclusively via IRCTC official portal. Weight limit strictly enforced at 80kg.
