Now you can make a flying visit to Girnar

Gandhinagar/Rajkot: Tourists from Mumbai could soon make a spiritual journey to the 945-metre high Mount Girnar and visit Jain and Hindu places of worship, and fly back the same evening.
This may be possible if the proposal floated by Pavan Hans and Air Deccan for a helipad atop one of the five peaks of Mount Girnar, at final stages of consideration with the Gujarat government, gets an official nod.
State officials told TOI on Tuesday that the two helicopter service providers have decided to offer six to 10-seater choppers to take groups from Zafar Maidan in Junagadh to the Ambaji temple, situated at a height of 700 metres.
The tourism and forests departments have given their nod to the proposal, which is pending final clearance before state environment and forests minister Mangubhai Patel.
Floated one-and-a-half months ago, the proposal, once okayed by the Gujarat government, would have to be sent to the Union ministry of forests and environment for finalisation.
Though there are no trees atop the proposed helipad site, it is a reserved forest land.
