i saw in net helicopter service for Mata Vaishno Devi in jammu . any one tell me about it how much it will cost and how it will be , can we book by going there
There are two helicopter operators the Pawan Hans helicopters limited and Deccan Aviation Limited. The flight time is about six minutes and the helicopter carries six passengers at a time. Both helicopter operators work in rotation simultaneously
Important points to note
Flights are operated daily
The Katra Vaishno Devi helicopter flights operate in the daytime only 8:00 am to 6:00 PM.
Flights operate in clear weather only, not in rainy season.
The Katra Vaishno Devi Katra helicopter service Fare Structure:
Katra –Vaishnodevi (Sanjhichat) or Sanjhichat -Katra one-way helicopter ride
Vaishno Devi Temple is nearer to Jammu city. Kashmir valley ( where the current problems are taking place ) is almost a full day travel away from the temple. I do not foresee any trouble there. Get more information and pilgrimage services at Jammu Railway station area. There is a hugh place run by Vaishno Devi trust where you can stay, too. Offer my prayers to mataji when you go there. Thanks.
