Shekhawat shared his thrilling skydiving journey on the microblogging platform X. In another post, he expressed his excitement, saying, “Truly exhilarating! On the occasion of World Skydiving Day, had the pleasure of flagging off the new skydiving aircraft and taking a tandem skydive this morning at Skyhigh—India’s only civilian skydiving drop zone at Narnaul Airstrip, Haryana. For new and adventurous Bharat, the skies too are no limit.”
After landing, the minister spoke to reporters, describing the day as a significant milestone not only for him but for the entire world. “Today is definitely an exciting day, not only for me but for the entire world. It’s the first-ever World Skydiving Day being celebrated globally. On this day, the facility for skydiving has been initiated in Narnaul, and I have jumped from here. Along with this, I see a bright future for India in the tourism and aerospace sectors.”
Shekhawat emphasized the potential boost to domestic tourism, noting that thousands of Indians who previously traveled to destinations like Dubai, Singapore, Thailand, and New Zealand for such experiences can now enjoy them in India. “This will also boost tourism. I have flagged off India’s first skydiving aircraft, and I wish great success to the team. As the tourism minister, it is my responsibility to develop new tourist spots. We would like to encourage this in more places, including Madhya Pradesh and Goa,” he added.
With the inauguration of the new skydiving facility, India is poised to become a hub for adventure tourism, offering thrilling experiences and boosting local economies.
