Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand), March 14: Nestled in the Kumaon Division, the picturesque town of Pithoragarh is poised to become a major pilgrim and tourist hub in Uttarakhand. The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board, in collaboration with Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN) and a Nodia-based travel agency Trip to Temples, is spearheading this initiative by establishing aerial connectivity and tourism to the town.
“We are in talks with airlines to launch flights to Pithoragarh from Delhi, Dehradun and Varanasi as a first step,” revealed senior government officials. The move comes as the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board has launched its one-of-a-kind pilgrimage program for Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, further amplifying Pithoragarh’s significance.
The official said, “We along with KMVN and Trip To Temples have launched aerial pilgrimage tours for Adi Kailash, Om Parvat, Brahma Parvat and Parvati Mukut using helicopters. The five to eight day package will offer connectivity to these inaccessible places through six helicopter sorties and then using ATVs people can visit these places. The idea is to make the experience more affordable and attract a large audience.”
