Winter helicopter service in Ladakh from Dec 29

Kargil (Ladakh), Dec 26: The winter helicopter service in Ladakh will commence on December 29, an official said on Sunday.

During winter, Ladakh generally remains cut-off from the rest of the country due to closure of the Srinagar-Leh national highway owing to heavy snowfall.

“The flight will start from Leh to Kargil, and then from Kargil to Srinagar,  and vice versa: Srinagar-Kargil-Leh,” the official said.

Online bookings for the winter rides have opened, he said.–(PTI)
