Trips in monsoon and winter are less advised because we don’t want any hindrance in the successful completion of your journey. In winters, though the views are good, helicopters face a hard time during touchdown due to heavy snow piled up in the landing area and in monsoon, because of heavy rainfall, snowfalls and unfavorable weather which invites fog neither can you catch the splendid view nor can we guarantee a smooth trip.
