Shimla

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has released the teaser of Shimla Flying Festival — 2023 being organised jointly by the state Tourism Department and The Glide Inn organisation in Junga near Shimla from October 12 to 15.

The Chief Minister said tourism activities in the state were hampered and the state suffered huge losses due to heavy rains, landslides and floods for almost three months during the monsoon.

He said the government worked on a war footing to recover from the natural calamity.

 As of now, when life is coming back to normal with all communication networks restored, we intend to start tourism activities in a big way and welcome tourists to enjoy all sorts of activities and adventure sports, said the Chief Minister.

The Shimla Flying Festival will add to the attraction of tourism activities, he said. The government was promoting adventure tourism on a large scale and Kangra district is being developed as a tourism capital.
