Helitourism plan 2026 gets first boost with Patna Joy Ride

Bihar’s ambitious helitourism program for 2026 received its inaugural launch with the Patna Joy Ride. The program intends to extend aerial links to major pilgrimage, heritage and recreational sites across the state, reducing travel time and enhancing visitor convenience. The Patna pilot will serve as a model for future routes that could link cities such as Gaya, Rajgir and Vaishali.
