Telangana announces heli-tourism between Hyderabad and Srisailam through Somasila and wellness resorts, boating spots, upgraded museums to spur tourism.

As this is a daring effort and a bold plan to reform its tourism system, Telangana government announced today to start a heli-tourism service between Hyderabad and Srisailam through Somasila. In association with the travel agent Ease My Services, the Minister of Tourism Jupally Krishna Rao has launched the first aerial tourism project that will take a bird-eye-view of Telangana state to highlight the rugged beauty and religious monuments of the state.
The tourists would have options of round-trip helicopter charges to visit the sacred town of Srisailam and fly over the picturesque Somasila settings. What is less well known is that according to Rao, the state has long been under-utilizing its tourism potential, and with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at the helm, this is now being actively addressed via investments in infrastructure, adventure tourism and wellness retreats to boost the tourism sector.
