Amarnath & Vaishno Devi Yatra Package by Helicopter (5 Nights / 6 Days)

Overview

The Amarnath Helicopter Tour with Vaishno Devi Yatra is a carefully planned pilgrimage package that enables devotees to visit two of the most revered Hindu shrines—Shri Amarnath Cave and Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan—with maximum comfort and minimum physical effort. As both shrines involve steep and rugged mountain treks, this helicopter-assisted Yatra offers a safe, convenient, and time-saving solution.

This 6-day package covers the scenic Pahalgam route for the Amarnath Yatra and includes return helicopter services for both sectors (Pahalgam to Panchtarni and Katra to Sanjichhat). Complete with comfortable hotel stays, reliable transportation, daily meals, and Srinagar sightseeing, it is ideal for families, senior citizens, and devotees seeking a memorable spiritual journey.
