It would not be wrong to say that the Uttarakhand government is continuously taking important steps to promote tourism. They are making every possible effort not only to improve the road connectivity but also to ensure that the tourists visiting here do not face any inconvenience. To further woo tourists, the Uttarakhand government is planning to introduce helicopter rides, which were successfully tested at Bairagi Camp in Haridwar in December last year.

It is noteworthy that the helicopter ride, known as Gyrocopter, will be the country's first aerial safari, which will allow tourists to enjoy the natural beauty of the Himalayan ranges, serene rivers, and picturesque aerial views. Tourists can leisurely tour the hills of Himachal by sitting in a helicopter.

German-Made Helicopters

According to the Uttarakhand Tourism Department, these helicopters have been imported from Germany, thereby facilitating easy access to untouched tourist destinations in the state. By sitting in these helicopters, tourists can see everything that was once a dream for many people. This initiative not only promotes adventure tourism but also offers tourists a unique experience of romance with the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas.
