In case you are looking forward to traveling to Kedarnath and Badrinath, ensure that you book your flight through the official site. Avoid online bookings that come from anonymous sources on the internet since they are scams.

One of the cases includes a young lady from Thane who lost Rs. 54,000 after she booked her flights to the places on the internet. According to PTI, a 34-year-old Thane resident said in her police complaint that she was recently looking for air travel to Kedarnath.

She was offered a service for a ride through an Instagram account. The moment she made the call, she was asked to pay 50 percent of the total airfare amount in advance.
