Kedarnath
Fly to Kedarnath by helicopter — a 7-minute flight from Phata, Sersi, or Guptkashi helipad that offers a spectacular aerial view of the Kedarnath Peak, the Mandakini River gorge, and the entire valley. Helicopter darshan packages include a limited time at the temple with priority entry.
Book through IRCTC's official portal or operators like Heritage Aviation, Himalayan Heli, and Pawan Hans months in advance — demand far exceeds supply. Weather cancellations are common; keep flexible return plans.
