Overview

Amarnath Yatra By Helicopter

Amarnath Yatra By Helicopter takes the pilgrims to the holy cave of Amarnath which is located in the Northern Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir.Amarnath Caves are considered as most revered as these caves are believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva.The caves are located at an altitude of about 12756 feet above sea level.For most of the year the caves remain covered by snow and it is only during the months of July and August that pilgrims in thousands visit the caves to have a glimpse of Shivalingam that is naturally made of snow.

There are several different modes that may be adopted for undertaking this pious pilgrimage.Many of the pilgrims come upto Baltal near Sonmarg or Chandanbari near Pahalgam.From these places they trek for several kms to reach the holy cave.Alternatively, there are others who do their Amarnath yatra booking and buy to and fro helicopter tickets upto Panjtarni and back.

Amarnath Yatra By Helicopter is best suited to those pilgrims who wish to reach upto Panjtarni by helicopter and wish to trek the rest by foot.Waytoindia.com takes care of the helicopter booking for Amarnath and also all travel arrangements and stay during the tour at affordable costs.

I planned a South India tour from Chennai to Kochi. I asked from many different travel companies but I got the best and cheapest offer by 'Way to India'. That was two weeks travel plan. We visited so many wonderful places and we got enough time for some individual program too. In the first week we visited the historical places like temples, museums and some beaches. In the second week we visited amazing natural attraction. All happened at exactly fixed itinerary. We traveled with a comfortable panoramic mini bus and the bus driver (Mr. Ram) was very kind and talented who could manage a good restaurant for dinner and lunch every day. The recommended hotels were correct and better than the chosen category. The connecting with 'Way to India' was a great experience for us and Mr Mohit was very pleasant and flexible for our request. All in all believe that this was the best choice for traveling. I'm sure we'll go back in India again because we found many kind friends at there and we would like to organize travel again by 'way to India'. thanks for all you have done for us thank you so much

It took a year of planning to suit a budget and unique needs for 10 people. Patience and support for that one year and throughout the travel experience was excellent leaving no area wanting.

Thanks Mohit and team!

I am so delighted and grateful that I found Way to India. I was nervous about doing a trip by myself, as a young woman, in the Himalayas and it was important for me to find a trusted company to arrange my trip. I searched long and hard but once I spoke with Mohit at Way to India, I knew I found the perfect company. Every question I had or issue I needed help with was handled immediately, proficiently, with excellent service that really went above and beyond. All of the people connected with the company that I met or spoke with are extremely helpful, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The itinerary created was just perfectly tailored for what I wanted and was done with a lot of thought and care. They stayed connected with me through the entire trip to make sure everything was going well. Really, I did not have to worry or think about anything. I will use them every time I come back to India! I highly recommend to all my friends and family and to anyone who wants a memorable visit to India.

Thanks to Waytoindia for 10 day in Rajasthan- Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Mount Abu and Ahmedabad. Everything from pickup from Jaipur airport to drop at Ahmedabad airport was very smooth. The hotels booked in Jaipur and Udaipur were amazing. In Jaisalmer the camel ride and Jeep safari though a bit expensive was a good experience. The car and the driver for the entire 10 days was very good. Thanks to the driver Mahesh, who drove the 2 ladies for the entire 10 days safely and dropped us in time for the return flight to Bangalore.

Overall it was a memorable trip customized by Way2india for us. Thanks to Ankit.
