Oh Lucky you Shilpa! So what do you call the base of the mountain? Do you mean from Rudraprayag or from Gaurikund? I imagine you mean Rudraprayag which is a shame, because you'll miss Gaurikund.........Oh well! Rudraprayag is a special place too, do make sure you take a walk to the little Shiva Temple up the steps at the confluence, to get Blessings before you leave for Kedar, it's a powerful place where the rivers meet so be sure to soak up the atmosphere......Oh & if you don't mind a couple of pics of the confluence for me would be nice    KK

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA!

Helicopter Services To Kedarnath operates from Agastya Muni (distt. Rudraprayag) to Kedarnath. Flights depart from Agastya Muni daily between 6:30 am to 11:10 am, by a 5-seater Bell 407 helicopter.

Gaurikund is the place where the motorable road ends. From here visitors trek to Kedarnath.

Oh What a shame! Well ask your mom to take some photo's for me I can't imagine any helicopters could land or take-off from Gaurikund it's on verreeee steep hillsides & densely forested. The base of the mountain starts at Kedarnath itself, so in effect you'd (or your mom) land at the base. KK
