Shimla is set to become home to the world's second-largest ropeway project, with construction scheduled to commence in March 2025. This ambitious project aims to enhance tourism and connectivity in the scenic hill station, known for its picturesque landscapes.

The new ropeway will span an impressive distance, aiming to provide a more accessible and scenic route for visitors and locals alike. It will significantly improve transportation options, reduce travel time, and offer stunning aerial views of Shimla's natural beauty.

The construction will be undertaken with advanced technology to ensure safety and efficiency. Once operational, it will position Shimla as a prominent destination for ropeway enthusiasts and travelers seeking unique experiences.
