Pawan Hans Limited, a Government of India enterprise, has resumed providing daily helicopter flight services from Phata in Uttarakhand to the holy site of Kedarnath from earlier this month.
The Phata helipad is located 2 kilometres beyond Phata and is linked by a motorable road on the way to Kedarnath. From this pilgrimage season, Pawan Hans is also introducing a new helicopter charter service from Dehradun heliport and Jolly ground Airport to the shrine via Phata/Gauchar Kedarnath, Badrinath and Char Dham.
