Dassël Search & Rescue — Premier helicopter SAR & aerial firefighting unit based in Uttarakhand, serving the entire nation of India.
Dedicated to saving lives through rapid aerial response across India's toughest terrains.
Dassël Search & Rescue (Dassël SAR) is a professional helicopter-based search and rescue organization headquartered in Uttarakhand — India's Himalayan state known for its challenging mountainous terrain, adventure tourism, and critical need for rapid aerial response.
Starting as a specialized unit for mountain rescue and aerial firefighting, we now also deploy advanced drone search & rescue, autonomous drone swarm technology, drone firefighting support, and flood-response teams. We are expanding operations across all states of India, providing 24/7 mission-ready capability for natural disasters, medical evacuations, wilderness search, and industrial emergencies.
Our motto: Mission-Ready to Meet Your Demand.

Dassël Firefighting Unit equipped for water-bucket and retardant drops to combat wildfires in forests and remote regions.
