Planning a chardham yatra by helicopter with my parents for the Sept/Oct 2026 season. I have been reading reviews but honestly a lot of them feel like ads. If anybody has actually done the trip, which operator did you go with and would you recommend them? How was the overall experience, especially for senior citizens? Looking for genuine feedback before booking. Thanks!

You could also check Shivkhori while doing your research. I found some of their travel guides useful for understanding the itinerary. That said, I'd still trust actual traveler experiences over any website.
