Short answer: Gulmarg helicopter rides start from ₹7,500 per person. The exact fare depends on the route and the season — call or WhatsApp us for a quote on your date before you pay. It is an add-on, not part of our standard package price. We help you check whether Kashmir Heli (or the operator flying that week) is running on your Gulmarg day, then you pay them directly.

What you are actually buying
- Operator: Kashmir Heli (Kashmir Helicopter Skiing) has run scenic flights from the Gulmarg helipad for years. Confirm the name on your voucher.

- Typical product shapes: short joy ride (scenic loop, no landing), Kongdoori-area drop with time on snow, and higher snowfield landings when weather allows.
