Vaishno Devi Helicopter Ticket Online Booking: A Step-by-Step Guide

Online booking is the main way to get a seat on the Katra to Sanjichhat helicopter. New dates are released on the 1st of every month, and for busy weekends, school holidays and Navratri, seats can be gone within the first hour. Being prepared before the window opens makes all the difference.

Start by getting the details of every traveller ready: full name exactly as on the photo ID, age, and ID number. Each pilgrim also needs a Yatra RFID card, which you can make online on maavaishnodevi.org or at the registration counters in Katra.

When booking opens, pick your date and flight direction, enter traveller details carefully (they usually cannot be changed later), and pay by card. Save the confirmation, print the ticket, and keep the same card with you, because it may be checked at the helipad.

If you would rather not race the clock, our team can try for seats on your behalf and also arrange hotel and transport. Fares are listed on our ticket price page.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Spelling a name differently from the ID, booking without RFID cards ready, paying with a card you will not carry on the trip, and choosing a return slot too tight for the 3 km walk to the Bhawan and back. Check your status after payment, and if money is deducted but the booking fails, wait for the refund before paying again.
