Pawan Hans is one of the helicopter operators named for the Katra to Sanjichhat route. Here is what booking a seat involves, what it costs and how to make the day go smoothly.
From ₹2,320 per person, one way
Overview
Pawan Hans is a helicopter operator that pilgrims often ask about by name when planning the Vaishno Devi yatra. On this route, helicopters shuttle between the Katra helipad and Sanjichhat, the landing point nearest the Bhawan, in a flight of around six minutes.
Many families search for 'Pawan Hans booking' expecting a separate counter or fare. In practice, what matters most is getting a seat on your date: the route, fare, documents and reporting process are what you plan around. Our team helps you apply for seats as soon as dates open on the 1st of every month.
The fare is ₹2,320 per person one way and ₹4,640 per person for a same-day return. It covers only the flight. Hotels, cars and pony or palki charges are separate, which is why many pilgrims choose a helicopter package instead.
From Sanjichhat it is about 3 km to the Bhawan, around 45 minutes on foot, with ponies available. Return passengers board again at Sanjichhat, which closes at 5 pm.
Not always. The operator flying your slot depends on the schedule for that day. If you have a preference, tell us and we will try, but a confirmed seat on your date is usually more valuable than a particular operator.
