Overview
Helicopter Darshan with a Hill Holiday
This package is for families who want comfort at every step. Your return helicopter tickets from Katra to Sanjichhat are included, cutting the climb to roughly 3 km from the helipad to the Bhawan. That leaves everyone fresh enough to enjoy a day in the hills afterwards.
You can choose between two plans. The 3 night 4 days tour gives you two nights in Katra and a night near Patnitop, with five hotel categories to pick from. The 4 night 5 days plan, priced at ₹10,500 per person, adds an extra night so the pace stays gentle; it is described in full on our 4 night 5 days helicopter package page.
Patnitop sits on the Jammu–Srinagar highway, surrounded by pine forests and open meadows. Nag temple, Sanasar and the Nathatop viewpoint are the usual stops, and in winter there is often snow.
Helicopter Seats Go Fast
New helicopter dates open on the 1st of every month and popular days sell out quickly. Confirm early and we will try for seats as soon as booking opens. If you would rather walk, the Vaishno Devi with Patnitop package has a lower-cost trek option.
