Sarla Aviation signs MoU with Jungle Lodges & Resorts

Our vision for Urban Air Mobility grows stronger with every partner who has built bridges where others see distance.

Today we take another step — proudly signing an MoU with JUNGLE LODGES AND RESORTS LIMITED, a Government of Karnataka tourism initiative and a brand that has spent decades making Karnataka’s forests, rivers, and heritage destinations reachable for travellers across the world.

This collaboration represents an exciting step toward exploring the launch of urban air mobility and last-mile aerial connectivity to resorts within the State from airports and city centres to Jungle Lodges’ flagship properties.

As we work to redefine the way people move across India, this partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to make air travel more accessible, efficient, and sustainable for tourists who have made long journeys and want to reach their leisure destination quickly.

For decades, Jungle Lodges & Resorts has opened pathways to Karnataka’s most treasured natural and cultural destinations — from the wildlife havens of Kabini and Bandipur to the heritage landscape of Hampi and the vibrant city of Mysore. Their commitment to conservation and authentic guest experiences has set a benchmark for responsible tourism.

Through this partnership, Sarla Aviation aims to explore how eVTOL-enabled air mobility can significantly enhance guest access to these remote and often hard-to-reach locations. By reducing long road journeys and offering direct connections from Bengaluru, we envision a future where travellers can reach these destinations in minutes instead of hours.

This initiative has the potential to:


- Strengthen regional tourism through aerial last-mile connectivity


- Reduce travel time and guest fatigue


- Support sustainable mobility solutions aligned with eco-tourism values


- Set the stage for a new model of regional connectivity in India

We’re excited to work closely with Jungle Lodges to unlock new possibilities for Karnataka’s tourism landscape and to showcase how advanced air mobility can meaningfully transform the way people travel.
