Chhath Special Helicopter Joyrides Begin In Patna At ₹2,100, Offering A Bird’s-Eye View Of Bihar

This Chhath, the celebrations in Patna can come with a view from thousands of feet above the ground.

Bihar Tourism has opened bookings for special helicopter joyrides during Chhath Mahaparva, giving residents and visitors a chance to experience the city and its festive atmosphere from the sky.

The special service will run from November 10 to November 16, 2026, with rides priced at just ₹2,100 per person. Each morning, passengers can choose from six available slots between 8 am and 10 am.

The initiative adds a new experience to Bihar’s festive tourism calendar. It also offers visitors a different way to explore Patna’s beauty during one of the state’s most important festivals.

Special Chhath Schedule: Dates, Timings and Ticket Price

According to the Chhath special announcement shared by Bihar Tourism, the joyride service will be available from November 10 to November 16, 2026.

The announcement also says the service will be available every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday beyond the special Chhath period.

That means the joyride is being positioned as more than a one-time festive attraction. It could become another option for people looking to explore Patna from a different perspective.

What Can Passengers See During the Helicopter Joyride?

The Patna Heli Joy Ride offers a 10-minute aerial experience over the city skyline and the Ganga.

From above, passengers can enjoy a different perspective of Patna’s landscape and riverfront. The experience offers a fresh way to appreciate the city, especially during Chhath, when the ghats and riverbanks become central to the celebrations.

For visitors coming to Patna during the festival, the ride could become a memorable addition to their Chhath trip. Meanwhile, local residents get an opportunity to see their own city from an entirely different angle.

Bihar’s Tourism Gets a New Festive Experience

Bihar has a rich mix of religious destinations, historic landmarks, river landscapes and cultural traditions. However, presenting these experiences in new ways can help visitors discover the state beyond familiar travel routes.

The helicopter joyride is part of Bihar’s wider push towards heli-tourism. The state launched its Patna joyride service in July 2026 under the Chief Minister Bihar Heli-Tourism and Air Tourism Scheme.

The Chhath special service adds a festive dimension to that initiative. It connects tourism with one of Bihar’s most recognisable cultural celebrations.

For visitors, it offers a memorable aerial experience. For Bihar’s tourism sector, it is another opportunity to make the state’s attractions more visible and accessible.

As Chhath brings families and visitors together in Patna, this special joyride offers a new way to experience the city’s festive spirit—from the ground to the sky.
