Traveling to Do Dham by Helicopter

• When traveling to Do Dham by helicopter, it’s essential to keep in mind that only handbags can be accommodated due to limited space. Therefore, it’s advisable to carry only essential items during the journey.

Precautions for High Altitude Areas

• All temples in Do Dham are situated in high altitude areas, which can make it challenging to breathe for some pilgrims. Therefore, it’s recommended to carry a small oxygen bottle that can be easily obtained from medical shops. Pilgrims must also prepare themselves physically by doing some jogging and light exercises beforehand.

Weight Information and Carrying Capacity

• Passengers must provide accurate weight information during booking, as exceeding the aircraft’s carrying capacity can lead to de-boarding and cancellation of the Heli-tour without any refund. Therefore, it’s crucial to provide correct information during the booking process.

Safety Measures during COVID-19 Pandemic

• In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s crucial to follow the necessary measures issued by the state and central governments to ensure everyone’s safety and health. Pilgrims must strictly adhere to the guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus.

Suitable Clothing for Cold Weather

• Since the temperature at night in Do Dham can fall to 10 degrees Celsius or below, it’s recommended to carry woolen clothes to stay warm and comfortable during the journey.

Photography and Temple Rules

• While photography is allowed in the Himalayan ranges, it’s strictly prohibited inside the temple. Therefore, pilgrims should refrain from taking pictures inside the temple to respect the sanctity of the place.

Communication Services

• Communication is essential during the journey, and private mobile phones have coverage in most places. However, BSNL/Jio network services are better, and it’s advisable to carry a SIM card of these service providers for seamless communication.
