IMPORTANT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES

Guests have to MANDATORILY submit their correct weights at the time of booking. If any change in weight found at the time of their travel, from the submitted weights, which may lead to exceeding our aircraft weight carrying capacity, guest(s) would be deboarded & cancelled for the heli-tour, without any refund. 

In respect of COVID-19, all necessary measures issued by the State & Central Governments would have to be adhered by the passengers. The measures shall be confirmed by HHSPL to the passengers 02-03 weeks prior to the date of arrival. Without adhering to the prescribed measures/requirements, boarding would be denied without any refunds. 

Overweight charges would be charged to guests who are above 80 kg weight. The reason for the same is that, helicopter operates at very high-altitude terrain where the weight carrying capacity of the aircraft is only 450 kg. Hence, due to overweight passengers, there are chances of seat losein the flights. Overweight charges are applicable at INR 1,000/kg, above 80 kg/pax. 

Weighing at the time of boarding the helicopter is a must, due to the same reason, in case of more than 01 available aircraft, we reserve the right to shuffle passengers between helicopters to manage the right weight of helicopters for safe flying in the hills. Therefore, passengers travelling together might not be accommodated in the same helicopter flight. 

When planning your tour, we strongly advise the guests to keep one additional day at hand at Dehradun, over & above the 5N6D period, so that they do not end up in problem in case the weather gets very bad after the commencement of tour, which may lead to extension of their tour. 

AADHAR & PAN Card copies are to be shared mandatorily by all Indians, & passport is required in case of foreign nationals. 

Network connectivity at Harsil & Badrinath ji is very poor. BSNL &Jio are the main telecom service providers, that work in these regions at times. It is most likely, that guests would be cut-off from the outside world during their time there. However, our crew shall be with the guests for any assistance required at both the Dhams. 

Guests would not be allowed to carry their suitcases/luggage in the aircraft. Duffle bags would be provided on the day of arrival, in which guests will be allowed to carry up to 05 kg of luggage during the tour.
