Prayagraj, Feb 15 (NationPress) As the Maha Kumbh nears its finale, the arrival of devotees continues to surge. The daily influx of pilgrims eager to engage in the sacred ritual of the holy dip remains on the rise. To elevate the experience for the devotees, the Government of India, in partnership with the Uttar Pradesh Government, has launched Fly Ola, a helicopter service aimed at providing a spectacular aerial perspective of the Maha Kumbh Mela at reasonable prices.
With this helicopter service, devotees are afforded an exclusive chance to view the expansive Kumbh from above, with many expressing that the sight of the meeting point of the three sacred rivers — the Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Sarasvati — was truly breathtaking.
Numerous individuals have conveyed their appreciation, stating that after this remarkable experience, they feel the Kumbh should be held annually.
Expressions of gratitude have been directed towards leaders such as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Modi, as pilgrims thank them for orchestrating such an extraordinary event.
In a conversation with IANS, one devotee remarked, "The helicopter service was outstanding. I had a fantastic time, and the view was mesmerizing. We witnessed the sacred convergence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. The whole experience was unforgettable."
Another devotee added, "The experience was wonderful. We felt fortunate to see the Triveni Sangam from the sky. The arrangements here are genuinely impressive."
Manish Malpani, a devotee from Maharashtra, commended the scale and organization of the event, stating, "Maha Kumbh is a grand event that Yogi ji has arranged with great diligence. The entire administration of Uttar Pradesh, along with local district authorities, has worked tirelessly to ensure seamless operations.
Even with such a large gathering, cleanliness is upheld, and the provisions for food, lodging, and transportation are exceptional. I highly recommend everyone to attend the Kumbh Mela before Maha Shivratri. The helicopter services are superb. You can conveniently fly from the airport, enjoy a ride over the Maha Kumbh, take a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, and return to the airport with ease. The aerial view of Prayagraj was absolutely stunning. Observing people unite in devotion, chanting ‘Har Har Mahadev’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram,’ filled me with immense joy."
The service provider elaborated on the offerings, stating, "We operate three helicopters — two for VIPs and one for the general public. The service will continue until February 28. The cost for the helicopter ride is approximately Rs 1200-1300, while chartered flights are around Rs 35,000. We transport passengers from the airport, allow them to bathe at the Sangam, and provide a scenic aerial tour of the Maha Kumbh."
The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 is the most significant spiritual and cultural event to happen in India after decades. Over 43.57 crore devotees have taken a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam during the Maha Kumbh.
