This helicopter service significantly reduces the travel time, allowing devotees to bypass the arduous trek required to reach the gurudwara. The helicopter journey presents passengers with breathtaking views of the Himalayas' rugged landscape and pristine beauty. The service operates from Govindghat to Ghangaria, the base camp for the trek to Hemkund Sahib. The facility helps those who are physically unable to undertake the trek and allows more people to pay homage at this holy site nestled amidst the snow-capped peaks. Helicopter rides are subject to weather conditions, and the service is known for its efficiency and safety standards. The verdant valleys, alpine forests, and the melodious sound of the Laxman Ganga river provide a spiritual backdrop to this mesmerizing journey.
