Lodged in the lap of the Himalayas, Uttarakhand stands as a testament to nature's splendour, boasting majestic peaks, lush forests, and sacred rivers. However, not only has it enamoured travellers with its beauty but also with one-of-a-kind experiences, which will soon include India's first-ever gyrocopter safari service. Moreover, Uttarakhand has also gained recognition for being a prime adventure destination, winning the "Best Adventure Tourism State in India" award at ATOAI 2023.
