Jammu has the most beautiful mountain ranges and scenic views. However, the mountain ranges are inconvenient for travel in the winter due to massive snowfall. Moreover, the accessibility of some locations in the valley is still in question. The people living in remote areas suffer from this issue when it comes to travelling. As a solution, the administration has decided to start helicopter services for the people living in the Pir Pinjal and Chenab Valley regions of Jammu.
Helicopter Services For People Living In Remote Areas
The helicopter fares will vary from ₹1,000 to ₹4,000 according to the destination. The fare from Jammu to Poonch and Kishtwar is ₹4,000, whereas to Doda and Rajouri is ₹2,500 and ₹2,000, respectively. Apart from that, Kishtwar to Nawapachi travel cost is ₹1,500 and to Anshan is ₹2,000. The Deputy Commissioner of Jammu, Romesh Kumar, along with CISF officials, Deputy Commissioners Of Poonch, Doda, Ramban, Kishtwar, and Rajouri districts, Global Vetra Helicopter PVT LTD, and civil aviation authorities took this decision. Even the residents have supported the helicopter service decision.
