Kedarnath by Helicopter from Sangli in May — FAQs
Phata helipad (2,650 m) is 35 km from Rudraprayag and 210 km from Haridwar — making it the most accessible. Sersi (2,750 m) is slightly closer to Kedarnath and offers similar flight times. Sitapur (2,400 m) is the lowest altitude helipad, suited for those arriving from lower-altitude hotels. All three are connected by NH-107; your operator will drop you at the assigned helipad based on your booking.
Helicopter operators issue a full refund or reschedule within 48–72 hours for weather cancellations, per DGCA regulations. In May, cancellations are rare before 11 AM — most operators schedule pilgrims for 6–10 AM departure windows. Junegiri Yatra helicopter packages include a 2-night buffer hotel stay so that a single-day cancellation does not derail your entire pilgrimage. Confirm this buffer before booking.
Yes — the helicopter package is specifically designed for pilgrims who cannot undertake the 18 km trek due to age, arthritis, cardiac conditions, or mobility limitations. However, even after landing at the Kedarnath helipad (3,550 m), pilgrims must walk 400–500 m to the temple. A wheelchair-accessible pathway is partially available. Consult your cardiologist before travelling to this altitude, and inform your operator of any medical conditions.
