To promote tourism in Uttar Pradesh, the state government has started helicopter service. Under this, helicopter service between Lucknow and Dudhwa will start from November 25. Tourists going from Lucknow to Dudhwa by road used to take four and a half hours, but by helicopter it will take only one hour.
Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh said that tourists will have to pay a fare of Rs 5,000 per person for helicopter travel. An MoU has been signed with JetServ Aviation Tourism Limited for this service. He said that the Chief Minister had given instructions to start helicopter services for easy transportation to eco-tourism places like Dudhwa National Park, Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary and Chuka of Pilibhit Tiger Reserve.
