New project set to transform tourism and connectivity in the hill station
Shimla, the picturesque hill station in Himachal Pradesh, is set to become home to India’s largest urban ropeway, which will also be the second largest in the world. This ambitious project aims to enhance tourism and improve connectivity in the region, offering a modern and eco-friendly transportation solution for both locals and visitors.
The ropeway, stretching over 14.69 kilometers, will connect key locations within Shimla, significantly reducing travel time and providing breathtaking aerial views of the region’s natural beauty. The project, once completed, is expected to accommodate 6,000 passengers per hour, making it a game-changer for the city’s infrastructure and tourism industry, according to the Hindustan Times report.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the ropeway will minimize the environmental impact of travel in this ecologically sensitive area. By offering an alternative to road transport, it will help ease traffic congestion and reduce pollution, contributing to Shimla’s long-term environmental goals.
This state-of-the-art ropeway is poised to become a major attraction, drawing more tourists to Shimla and boosting the local economy. The project reflects India’s growing focus on innovative infrastructure that balances development with environmental preservation.
