It is a good news for all devotees traveling from Gurugram to religious places like Salasar and Khatu Shyam as they could soon avail a helicopter taxi to these locations instead of traveling for over 10 hours.

Both states have agreed mutually to start a helicopter taxi service and operations will commence soon. This move is expected to boost regional tourism even further.
Salasar and Khatu Shyam are important sites of pilgrimage for Hindus and every day, thousands of devotes throng to these locations from Gurugram. Currently, travel time between these destinations is easily 10-12 hours, sometimes over 15 hours due to traffic.
