Uttarkhand news: The secret is hidden in the snowy litigants of Uttarakhand, whose sound now wants to hear the whole world. The cool peak of the Himalayas on the one hand, thousands of years old spiritual stories on the other. The symbol of this mystery and faith is ‘Adi Kailash’ and ‘Om Parvat’. Reaching both these holy sites will no longer be the dream of seekers and climbers, but the common devotees will also be able to see these snow -covered peaks. And that too in winter, when the whole area is covered with snow. This is going to happen for the first time when a heli service will be started for these amazing places even during the winter. The Uttarakhand government has given a complete green signal for this historic step.
Om’s sound will echo in snow
Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, located in Pithoragarh district, are among the rare pilgrimage sites in India which have religious importance, as well as natural beauty is not less than any heaven. The specialty of Om Parvat is that the natural symbol of ‘4’ is clearly visible on its snow -covered peak. This is the reason that this site remains the center of attraction for devotees as well as tourists from all over the world. Now for the first time, people will be able to witness this divine scene even in winter. The Uttarakhand government has authorized Rudraksha Aviation Private Limited for this. Heli service will be started by this company through MI-17 helicopter in November. At a time when the entire area will be surrounded by snow and the road is almost closed, then this service of the helicopter will prove to be a boon for the passengers.
New identity received from Modi’s visit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Adi Kailash and Om Parvat Yatra in 2023 brought this place to the international stage. After the PM’s visit, the urge to go here in the minds of devotees across the country. The government also started to organize this pilgrimage to a systematic form, sensing the opportunity. Special tour packages were prepared, the infrastructure has been improved and now the biggest step has been decided to start a heli service. The number of devotees coming here in the last two years has steadily increased. It is the effort of the Uttarakhand government that this journey should not only become faith, but also the medium of regional development.
New way of employment
Local people are going to get the biggest benefit of this step. The means of employment in high Himalayan regions are limited, but the tourism business will get wings as soon as this heli service starts. From hotels, guides, travel operators to local handicrafts and food and drink business will also be strengthened. Tourism Secretary Sachin Kurve said that the heli service will not only increase the facility of passengers, but local youth will also get new employment opportunities.
Dream of travel will be fulfilled even in winter
Till now the journey of Adi Kailash and Om Parvat used to be in the early stages of summer or monsoon. But now with special packages of five to six days, devotees will be able to visit in winter. From November to March, through this helicopter service, people from any corner of the country will be able to experience spiritual energy directly on icy peaks. This decision of Dhami Sarkar is not just a step to promote tourism, but is part of a major strategy to make Uttarakhand a global center of religious tourism. When the shape of ‘ॐ’ carved out of the ice of Om Parvat will resonate in the white mist, then its sound will be heard not only in India but all over the world. Now the Himalayas will come out alive from the window of the helicopter, not just in books.
