No one was injured during the landing and the chopper, which belongs to Josh Airways, was also safe, they said.
The helicopter, which had taken off from Fata area of Rudraprayag district, was on its way to Badrinath.
Poor visibility apparently due to forest fires forced the pilot to land the helicopter near a school at Kilondi area, about 20 km from here.
After remaining grounded for nearly two hours, the chopper then left for Badrinath.
