The Ascent.

Beyond First Class

Your passage to the sanctuary begins long before you arrive. We orchestrate every mile — from private jet to helicopter to the moment your feet touch our helipad.

Helicopter Transfers

Our private Eurocopter EC130 lifts you from Srinagar and delivers you to the sanctuary's dedicated helipad in just 20 minutes.
