Amarnath Yatra Helicopter Package
4 Days / 3 Nights
Srinagar → Baltal → Panchtarni by helicopter → Holy Cave → Srinagar
What it costs to get the ticket booked: the fare, the gateway charge, the service fee if an agent books for you, the cancellation rules, and the packages where we book it for free.

Booking charges for the Amarnath helicopter are the published sector fare plus any payment gateway charge on the authorised channel. There is no booking fee from the Shrine Board or the operators themselves; agents who book on your behalf may add a service fee, which must be shown separately from the fare.
We book tickets free of charge for pilgrims on our packages and for ₹500 per ticket for pilgrims who only want the booking done. Either way the fare is paid at the published rate, about ₹2,800 from Baltal and ₹4,900 from Pahalgam one way in recent seasons.
Cancellation by the pilgrim follows the operator's rules for the season, usually a deduction or no refund; cancellation by the operator for weather or security is refunded in full.
