IMPORTANT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES

• This is a fixed departures tour, and all departure timings of each destination are fixed.
  Therefore, passengers must ensure they report as per the mentioned scheduled ETDs on each day of
  the tour.
• In respect of COVID-19, all necessary measures issued by the State & Central Governments
  would have to be adhered by the passengers. The measures shall be confirmed by DJI to the
  passengers 02-03 weeks prior to the date of arrival. Without adhering to the prescribed
  measures/requirements, boarding would be denied without any refunds.
• Guests have to MANDATORILY submit their correct weights at the time of booking. If any
  change in weight found at the time of their travel from the submitted weights, which would exceed
  our aircraft’s weight carrying capacity, guest(s) would be deboarded & cancelled for the Heli-tour
  without any refund.
• Overweight charges would be charged to guests who are above 80 kg weight. The reason for
  the same is that we operate at very high-altitude terrain where the weight carrying capacity of the
  aircraft is only 450 kg. Hence, due to overweight passengers we lose seats in our Chardham fixed
  departure flights. Overweight charges are applicable at INR 1,000/kg, for the total weight above 80
  kg/pax.
• Weighing at the time of boarding the helicopter is a must, since DTS shall not allow boarding in
  case the total weight exceeds the weight limitation of the helicopter. &, due to the same reason, in
  case of more than 01 available aircraft, we reserve the right to shuffle passengers between
  helicopters to manage the right weight of helicopters for safe flying in the hills. Therefore,
  passengers travelling together might not be accommodated in the same helicopter flight.
• When planning your tour, we strongly advise the guests to keep one additional day at hand at
  Dehradun, over & above the 5N6D period, so that they do not end up in problem in case the
  weather gets very bad after the commencement of tour, which may lead to extension of the tour.
• Airport transfers will be provided only on the arrival day at Dehradun and on the 5th day of the
  tour.
• AADHAR & PAN Card copies are to be shared mandatorily by all Indians, & passport is required
  in case of foreign nationals.
• Network connectivity at Harsil & Badrinath is very poor. BSNL & Jio are the main telecom service
  providers, that work in these regions at times. It is most likely, that guests would be cut-off from the
  outside world during their time there. However, our crew shall be with the guests for any assistance
  required at all the Dhams.
• Guests would not be allowed to carry their suitcases/luggage in the aircraft. Duffle bags would
  be provided by our crew on the day of arrival, in which guests will be allowed to carry up to 05 kg of
  luggage during the tour.
• DJI has its own crew at all the Dhams. For any help, guidance or assistance, guests are free to
  reach out to them.
• Hotels at all the Dhams are non-star category. However, DJI has carefully selected the most
  comfortable & highest rated properties for their Heli-tours.
• All temples in Chardham sector are located at a high altitude, & guests are advised to carry their
  own medication with them during travel. Guests are also advised to carry a few heavy woolen
  clothing with them, since during evenings & nights the temperature drops drastically.
• Maha Abhishek & Rudra Abhishek Puja’s confirmation needs to be provided by the guests at
  the time of booking. Payment for the same shall be collected by our crew at Dehradun, so that we
  can arrange the Puja for the guest prior to their arrival at Badrinath & Kedarnath.
• Flying in hills is subject to weather conditions. And in regards to our Chardham operations, we
  would like to bring to your kind attention that cancellation & other inconveniences due to
  weather are very much likely since weather is extremely unpredictable in the hills. Therefore,
  guests should come prepared to face the eventualities caused by weather problems. Further please
  note, in case of bad weather, we shall operate as per our policies mentioned in the ‘Terms &
  Conditions’ & ‘Important Guidelines & Policies’ sections.

  COVID-19. Without adhering to the same, boarding shall be denied by UTS without any refunds.

  Therefore, in your own interest, guests are hereby advised to kindly consult a doctor and get medical

  medical ailment/condition. Any donations, tips, pitthu, palki/pony and porter charges shall be borne
  by the guests.

  shuffle passengers in helicopter flights to manage the total weight of the aircraft.
