  • The trip was fabulous. Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time.

  • We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest.

  • I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful!

Kedarnath Yatra 2025: IRCTC launches helicopter services-routes, fares and how to book

Uttarakhand News


The Kedarnath Yatra is considered one of the most revered and important pilgrimages in India for Hindus. The religious sojourn will get more convenient in 2025 with the launch of helicopter services, thanks to Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).

On this note let’s have a look at everything devotees need to know about the new travel option introduced by IRCTC.

Helicopter services will be available from May 2 to May 31

To ease the journey for pilgrims, helicopter services will operate daily from May 2 to May 31, 2025. The holy Kedarnath Temple, set in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, is now more accessible thanks to this initiative. Bookings for these helicopter rides have officially opened on IRCTC’s dedicated Heliyatra portal.

Yatra registration

Before booking a helicopter ticket, pilgrims must complete a mandatory registration for the Kedarnath Yatra. This is done through the official Uttarakhand tourism website. New users will need to create an account, fill in journey details such as duration, number of travelers, and travel dates, and then download the Yatra registration letter. This document is essential for booking helicopter tickets on the Heliyatra portal.

How to book online

To book the helicopter ride, users need to register on the Heliyatra portal using their mobile number and email. After OTP verification, they can log in and enter their Yatra registration number. From there, users can select travel dates, choose time slots, enter the number of passengers, and make payment. Each user is allowed to book two tickets, and each ticket can include up to six passengers.

we faced a few issues...

Had a good trip with family. The cab driver was polite throughout. But we faced a few issues: the hotel was under construction, breakfast and dinner options were limited compared to a buffet, and room cleanliness was a problem.All Seasons staff Shivam was courteous and arranged alternate hotel nearby which was good

Fabulous Uttarakhand Experience...

The trip itself was amazing. We wanted to see Uttarakhand but had no idea where to begin and that's where our agent and his company were a huge help. He was able to match the trip to our budget and timeline. The Places, hotels, intra-country travel, and excursions were perfect, we had no complaints. Setting the trip up was very easy. Our agent Mr. Vijay was very responsive to emails, we had made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. He even called us at our various hotels, to check in and make sure the trip was going well. Great service, would recommend to anyone who is looking for the inside information.

enjoyed family trip...

I booked a family trip to Uttarakhand.We were group of 10 people. Our driver Kailash and guide Mukesh were absolutely fantastic. They were accommodating,skilled and knowledgeable. They made our Uttarakhand trip easy and gave us the best possible experience.But will suggest to change the hotel in Nainital as the upkeep and maintenance was not upto mark and service was too slow
