At 53K, Delhi-Kullu airfare soars sky-high
The high fares on the Delhi-Kullu air route threaten to take some of the joy out of travel this holiday season as the sole operator, Alliance Air, looks to make the most of the spurt in demand.
The exorbitant airfare is one of the main deterrents keeping many high-end tourists off the Kullu-Manali-Lahaul circuit, claim those associated with the tourism industry in Himachal. One has to spend anything from Rs 35,980 to Rs 53,095 per person for a roundtrip between Delhi and Kullu during peak tourist season. Even during non-tourist season, the return flight costs around Rs 20,000.
