Uttarakhand Tourism & ITBP Partner to Launch Helicopter Rides in Remote Areas Including Adi Kailash

With a new partnership between the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board (UTDB) and the Northern Frontier of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Uttarakhand is poised to provide a distinctive travel experience for those seeking adventure and spirituality.

This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) intends to introduce helicopter services for tourists in order to uncover the hidden treasures of Uttarakhand's border regions, a territory rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.

New Initiative for Border Tourism

Uttarakhand, a state in northern India, is renowned for its natural scenery, beautiful mountains, and ancient temples. Due to the state's shared international boundaries with Tibet and Nepal, these border regions have pristine cultural traditions and untouched landscapes that are both rich in history. 

The new partnership offers a thrilling new approach to discovering the state's lesser-known gems while elevating these isolated, challenging-to-reach locations to the forefront of tourism.

Vibrant Village Program

This partnership offers more than simply convenient access to beautiful locations as it is a component of the "Vibrant Village" program, a central government project that aims to promote development in outlying areas.

The helicopter service would enable travelers to visit religious locations that were previously inaccessible due to rough terrain, including Adi Kailash, Om Parvat, Timmersain Mahadev, and Hemkund Sahib. Imagine flying over the Himalayas' beautiful peaks, arriving in the holy valleys, and taking in the peace and quiet of these breathtaking locations.

Emergency Services Enhanced

In addition to promoting tourism, this initiative improves local safety by offering emergency medical rescue services via the vast network of helipads operated by the ITBP. This program is essential to enhancing the safety of citizens in Uttarkashi, Chamoli, and Pithoragarh.

This new project is anticipated to further enhance Uttarakhand's standing as a border tourism destination, which has long been a favorite among adventurers and environment lovers. With renowned pilgrimage sites like Badrinath, Kedarnath, and Hemkund Sahib drawing thousands of tourists each year, the state offers more than simply natural beauty—it is a doorway to spiritual awakening.

Uttarakhand's recently launched heli-tourism services provide an exhilarating aerial view of the Himalayas, transporting visitors to some of India's most secluded and stunning locations.
