Essential Guidelines for High Altitude Travel

Do’s at High Altitude

Instead of trekking, take horses/palkis to avoid sickness at high altitudes.

When tired, catch your breath by taking short breaks.

Any symptoms such as headache, vomiting, extreme tiredness, nausea, or loss of appetite should not be avoided.

In the Chardham Yatra, wearing a saree is not a comfortable option. Instead of this tracksuit, a salwar suit, or a pant-shirt is recommended. Along with this, ladies who are 6 weeks pregnant should not do the Chardham Yatra.

You are advised to carry a waterproof bag where you can keep spare clothes and eatables.

For emergencies, keep your identity card and contact details in your pockets.

To protect your face and hands from sunburn, etc., one should carry Vaseline/cold cream/ sunscreen.

Don’ts at High Altitude

When going out of breath, don’t exert yourself.

Places that are marked danger, don’t stop there.

During the Char Dham yatra, don’t wear slippers. Instead, wear sports or trekking shoes for better grip and movement.

Don’t go for shortcuts, as it can be dangerous.

We have to complete the entire yatra as per the group in the same helicopter since each helicopter has different flying timings and permissions. While changing the helicopter at Kedarnath or Guptkashi, the waiting time is between 10 minutes to 3 hrs., depending on Shuttle slots/weather conditions or technical reasons.
Sometimes we may change the property in an emergency (like a landslide on the way to the property, electricity, or any other natural circumstances). We may try to provide other properties of the same or an upper category. Due to the high rush, hotels can be changed at any place, but we will ensure to provide a similar category accommodation.
All passengers will be taken to all the helipads at least 1 hour before the departure time. In this case, sometimes you may have to wait for the government helipad.
One cab will be provided to the group of up to 6 passengers wherever required. We’ll reserve the entire 6-seat full charter for a family group of 5 individuals.
