Uttarakhand Launches First-Ever Helicopter Yatra for Adi Kailash

The Uttarakhand government has initiated a groundbreaking development in religious tourism by launching the first-ever helicopter yatra to Adi Kailash and Om Parvat. This initiative significantly enhances accessibility to these sacred Himalayan sites, which previously required arduous treks. The helicopter service now aims to overcome the geographical and seasonal limitations that hindered many devotees from visiting Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, allowing a wider range of pilgrims, including the elderly and those with physical limitations, to experience this spiritually significant location. It is expected to significantly boost religious tourism in Uttarakhand, offering a more convenient and time-efficient way for devotees to undertake their pilgrimage.

Adi Kailash revered as the second abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati, and Om Parvat, known for its naturally formed "Om" symbol, are now more easily accessible. The helicopter services operate from the Naini Saini Airport in Pithoragarh, The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board (UTDB) is working with travel agencies to provide this service. This development marks a new era in Hindu pilgrimage tourism, making these remote and sacred sites more accessible. It also has the potential to provide economic benefits to local communities. This helicopter yatra is a significant step in facilitating spiritual journeys and promoting tourism in the beautiful and sacred landscapes of Uttarakhand.
