Online Reviews Summary

Maa Ganga Airport Uttarkashi (VI82), also known as Chinyalisaur Airport or Bharkot Airport, is primarily an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) for the Indian Air Force and is not currently operational for regular civilian commercial flights. While it was initially constructed to cater to tourist and pilgrim traffic, air charter companies have not commenced operations in the area, meaning direct traveler reviews and experiences for commercial services are largely unavailable. As of October 2024, the IAF was in advanced talks to take over or operate from this airport. Information on traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security wait times, and transportation connections for commercial passengers is therefore extremely limited or non-existent.

What Travelers (and observers) Love:

  • Scenic Location: The airport is situated in a beautiful natural environment, surrounded by picturesque hills and located on the banks of the Bhagirathi River near Tehri Lake, offering a "360-degree souvenir nature to the travellers".
  • Potential for Connectivity: It is seen as a potential "bridge connecting the rest of India to the spiritual heart of the Himalayas," poised to enhance tourism and cultural heritage once civil aviation commences.
Common Complaints
  • Lack of Civilian Operations: The primary "complaint," albeit an indirect one from the perspective of potential travelers, is that the airport "lay unused as air charter companies did not start operations to the area" for civilian use, despite its initial purpose. This means there are no commercial flights, and thus, no traveler services to review.
  • Limited Facilities for Public Use: While the airport has a modest terminal building with essential amenities like check-in counters, security screening, baggage handling, and a waiting lounge, these are not actively utilized by commercial travelers due to the absence of civilian flights. Therefore, there are no traveler reviews regarding the functionality or quality of these facilities.

In summary, Maa Ganga Airport Uttarkashi remains a facility with significant potential, lauded for its stunning Himalayan setting. However, as it has not yet become a regular commercial aviation hub, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences related to typical airport operations such as security, customs, or passenger services. Its current primary role is for military use.
