Tourists enjoy panoramic view of snow-capped mountains in Manali

MANALI - Tourists visiting the hill resort of Manali are able to enjoy panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains, courtesy the novel helicopter service introduced in the region.

These aerial hopping tours are organised by the Himalayan Heli Services in association with a tour operator named Himalayan Journey, attracting a large number of tourists who have come to enjoy the beautiful valley on the way to the Rohtang Pass beyond Manali.

“Definitely it has been a big boom to Manali because when people are coming here in winters they can’t go to Rohtang Pass whereas with helicopters they can go to Rohtang Pass and make their dream come true,” said Himanshu Sharma, Director, Himalayan Journey.

Tourists thrilled to watch the spectacular view of snow-clad mountains from the choppers.

“We saw all around this place and it was really very beautiful. We saw lot of snow capped mountains and homes, which were looking very small, and we saw roads full of traffic also. It was really enjoyable,” said Deboo Dubey, a tourist.

Manali is one of the most favourite tourist destinations of this hilly state, which is frequented by 10 million tourists every year. (ANI)
