What is the difference between the same-day return and the 2 Night/3 Day package?

The charter package is a same-day return trip. The helicopter flies directly from Jammu Airport to Panchi Helipad and back, and the entire darshan is completed in a few hours. The hotel package is a 2-night, 3-day trip with a stay in Katra and a helicopter ride from Katra to Sanjichhat for darshan.

How many passengers can the charter helicopter carry?

The private charter helicopter seats up to 6 passengers.

What hotel options are available in the 2-night, 3-day package?

The Vaishno Devi helicopter package with hotel stay is available in 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star hotel categories in Katra. All three include the same helicopter service, car transfers, meals, and VIP darshan. The difference is only in the hotel.

Is VIP darshan included in all packages?

Yes. Both packages include VIP darshan at the Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan, allowing you to bypass the regular queue.

What is included in the charter package?

The charter package includes a private helicopter from Jammu Airport to Panchi Helipad and back, a battery car at Panchi, VIP darshan at Bhawan, ropeway to Bhaironath Ji temple and back, priority darshan at Bhaironath Ji, a prasad box from Bhawan, and on-ground assistance throughout. Meals and personal expenses are not included.

What is included in the hotel package?

The hotel package includes hotel accommodation in Katra for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner, helicopter ride from Katra to Sanjichhat and back, VIP darshan at Bhawan, dedicated car with driver for all transfers from Jammu Airport to Katra and back, all tolls, parking, service charges, and GST. Personal expenses and anything not mentioned in inclusions are not covered.

Is the Vaishno Devi helicopter service safe for senior citizens?

Yes. Both packages are designed to make the pilgrimage accessible for elderly devotees. The charter package uses a battery car at Panchi Helipad and ropeway for Bhaironath Ji, so there is minimal walking. Our ground team provides dedicated assistance for senior citizens throughout the journey.

How far is the Bhawan from the helipad?

In the charter package, Panchi Helipad is closer to the Bhawan and a battery car takes you directly. In the hotel package, Sanjichhat helipad is approximately 2.5 km from the Bhawan, which is a walk of about 45 minutes to 1 hour on a paved path.

What documents do I need to carry?

Carry a valid government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar, passport, or PAN card. All passengers need the same ID that was provided at the time of booking.

About Your Stay in Katra

The 3-star hotels in our package are located in Katra town, close to the helipad and the main market. Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and come with basic amenities. This is a good fit if your priority is the darshan and you want a comfortable base to rest before and after the helicopter ride without paying for facilities you may not need during a pilgrimage.

Your Safety During the Yatra

All helicopter operations on the Katra to Sanjichhat route are conducted under DGCA regulations by experienced pilots familiar with the Trikuta Hills terrain. Weather conditions are checked before every departure, and flights are only cleared when conditions are suitable. A safety briefing is conducted for all passengers before boarding at Katra helipad.
