'''Chinyalisaur Airport''', also known as '''Maa Ganga Airport''' and '''Dharasu Airport''' or '''Bharkot Airport''', is located in [[Chinyalisaur]] of [[Uttarkashi district]] in the [[India]]n state of [[Uttarakhand]]. The airport is situated 85 Kilometers from [[New Tehri]] at the banks of [[Bhagirathi River]].<br />
<br />
==Civil aviation usage==<br />
<br />
The airport was initially constructed to cater to the needs of tourist and pilgrim traffic to the region, but lay unused as air charter companies did not start operations to the area.<br />
<br />
==Military usage as ALG==<br />
The [[Indian Air Force]] also uses the airport as an [[Advanced Landing Ground]] (ALG).<ref>{{cite news|title=Indian Air Force to make airbase at Chinyalisaur|url=http://hillpost.in/2011/09/indian-air-force-to-make-airbase-at-chinaylisair/31425/|access-date=7 August 2014|newspaper=Hill Post|date=25 September 2011}}</ref><br />
