If long traffic jams, inconvenient train timings and steep budgets have discouraged you from exploring the gorgeous state of Uttarakhand in the past, you can soon fly over it in a chopper! Connecting different cities, the proposed chopper service will reduce travel time from six to eight hours to 40 minutes as you soak in the mesmerising views.
The affordable chopper service starts from February 8 and will drastically reduce travel time between cities as well as bring affordability. The first chopper that is proposed to be operational will take you from Haridwar to Haldwani at an affordable tariff of Rs 1,200. The chopper service will add to your travel experience and will hugely contribute towards promoting connectivity in Uttarakhand.
Talking about the new service, flight advisor of Uttarakhand, CM Captain Deep Srivastava said that 28 choppers will operate across the state and few of the helicopters will also run on alternate days. This means you can plan your itinerary without worrying about uncertain schedules. The proposed chopper service will boost Regional Connectivity Services in the state and will ensure that you can cover long distances without spending exorbitantly. For this reason, the chopper service has been priced between INR 1000 and INR 5000 and the amount will depend on the distance covered and duration.
Covering 13 districts including myriad towns and cities, the chopper service will play a huge role in increasing connectivity, boosting tourism and making travel convenient. So if you are planning a trip to explore Uttarakhand, plan your itinerary accordingly and remember to book your spot on the chopper. It’s an experience that will surely stay with you long after you are back home.
