Imagine trading winding road trips for a helicopter ride over lush forests, mighty rivers and centuries-old temples. That postcard dream is about to take flight in Telangana.

What Is Heli-Tourism?

Heli-tourism is an emerging form of travel that allows visitors to explore destinations by helicopter. Instead of navigating remote terrains or spending hours on the road, tourists can take to the skies and enjoy bird's-eye views of rivers, mountains, forests and heritage sites.

Globally, heli-tourism is popular for sightseeing over natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and the Himalayas. Telangana now joins this league with its own aerial circuit.
