About Guptkashi Helipad
Guptkashi helipad is one of the main helicopter bases for Kedarnath Temple visits. The helipad is located in Sirsi village, which is about 6-7 kilometers from main Guptkashi town. Many people call it Phata helipad or Sirsi helipad – all these names mean the same place.
The helipad operates from April to November (when Kedarnath Temple is open). Helicopter services usually start around 6:00 AM and continue till evening, depending on weather conditions.
