The Darjeeling Ropeway is one of the most thrilling and memorable experiences you can have in the Queen of Hills. A cable car ride that carries passengers to an elevation of about 7,000 feet at Singamari, North Point, the ropeway offers a breathtaking aerial journey over some of Darjeeling's most beautiful scenery — making it an absolute must for first-time and repeat visitors alike.
History of the Darjeeling Ropeway
The Darjeeling Ropeway was started by the Forest Development Department of Darjeeling in 1968. It is now managed as a joint venture between the West Bengal Development Corporation and Conveyor and Ropeway Services, ensuring that this iconic attraction continues to serve tourists and locals.
The Ropeway Experience
Gliding smoothly over the valleys, mountains, waterfalls, tea gardens, and the magnificent Himalayan landscape of Darjeeling, the cable car ride is one of the most unique and exhilarating experiences available at any hill station in India. From the cable car gondola, passengers are treated to panoramic views that simply cannot be replicated from the road.
The ropeway journey provides a completely different and extraordinary perspective of Darjeeling — one that reveals the full grandeur of the terrain, the patchwork of tea gardens on the hillsides, and the distant peaks of the Himalayas in all their glory.
