Uttarakhand received 4 million, 7.5 million and 8.3 million tourists in April, May and June, respectively, last year. The Himalayan state expects to surpass last year’s performance this summer season, said Sumit Pant, director of marketing and publicity at Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board. Bookings are “very healthy” on all leisure routes, both domestic and international, said an official, who heads sales at an airline.
