Overview
How to Book a Global Vectra Seat to Sanjichhat
Global Vectra is one of the helicopter operators named for the Katra to Sanjichhat route. Whichever operator flies your slot, the booking process is the same, and the hardest part is simply getting a seat on a busy date.
Seats for the coming dates are released on the 1st of every month. For festival weeks, school holidays and long weekends, they can be gone within an hour. That is why preparation matters more than speed: having every traveller's details ready before opening time makes the difference.
The fare is ₹2,320 per person one way and ₹4,640 per person for a same-day return. Once booked, print the ticket and keep the card used for payment; both are checked at Counter No. 3 at the Katra helipad.
If you would rather not deal with the booking rush at all, share your dates with us and our team will apply on your behalf. For an overview of the operator and its service, see our Global Vectra helicopter page.
Details to Keep Ready
Full name and age of each traveller exactly as on their photo ID, the ID numbers, a working mobile number and email, your preferred date and a second-choice date, and the payment card you will carry on the day.
