Darjeeling Ropeway, Aerial lift in Darjeeling district, India

The Darjeeling Ropeway is a bicable aerial lift running from North Point (Singamari) at 2,134 m down to Singla on the banks of the Ramman river at 244 m. It has sixteen cars and stops at Tukver, Burnesbeg and Singla Tea Garden, covering 8 km to Singla Bazar in 45 minutes. The cabins, white with tinted windows and a red "RS" panel, hang from curved dark red arms.

This aerial lift opened in 1968 to transport people between the two mountain stations. Safety upgrades have been made over the years to improve reliability and passenger security.

The ropeway stops at Tukver, Burnesbeg and Singla Tea Garden, letting passengers see the tea gardens and settlements of the Ramman valley from above. It is run as a joint venture of the West Bengal Forest Development Corporation and Conveyor and Ropeway Services Private Ltd, a partnership that ties the ride to the state's forest and tourism administration.

The ride takes about 45 minutes and runs regularly throughout the day. It is best to arrive early to avoid long waits, especially on weekends and during peak travel periods.

The ropeway was opened in 1968 with a single car and was revamped in 1998. It was closed after the October 2003 accident in which four tourists died and 11 were injured, then reopened on 2 February 2012 with automatic safety devices such as limit switches and rope catches.
