Uttarakhand Launches Initiative to Boost Adventure Tourism and Paragliding Training
The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board has launched an initiative to position the state as a leading adventure tourism hub while promoting self-employment among local youth. So far, 141 youths have been trained in paragliding, with 17 currently undergoing practical tandem flight training in Bilkhet, Pauri Garhwal. The campaign will continue in Champawat through November, culminating in a 35-km cross-country flight. Successful participants will receive a Commercial Tandem Pilot License to operate commercially at approved sites.
