Is this booking real? Check before you pay

Fake helicopter, Char Dham and hotel sites appear every season, often as paid ads. Paste a link, UPI ID or phone number and we show the warning signs. Nothing you paste leaves your phone.

We can confirm a link is on an official domain. We can never promise an unknown site is safe; we can only show warning signs.

The official places to book

Common scams in Uttarakhand

"Confirmed" helicopter seats

Ads, Facebook pages and WhatsApp numbers offering guaranteed Kedarnath seats. Real tickets are only on IRCTC HeliYatra, and demand is 3–4 times the seats.

Paid "registration"

Someone offers to register you for Char Dham for a fee. Registration is free on the official portal and at counters.

Fake GMVN / KMVN rest houses

Look-alike sites using the state tourism names. Book state rest houses only on gmvnonline.com or kmvn.gov.in.

Too-good homestay deals

Copied photos and a full advance to a personal UPI ID. Call the number on Google Maps, read recent reviews, and pay only a small advance.
