Bharkot Airport also known as Chinyalisaur Airstrip, is located in Chinyalisaur of Uttarkashi district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
The airstrip 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. The Indian Air Force also uses the airstrip as an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG).[2]
