Darjeeling Ropeway, Aerial lift in Darjeeling district, India
The Darjeeling Ropeway spans 5 kilometers between North Point and Singla station, crossing valleys at elevations from 2,134 to 244 meters above sea level.
Established in 1968 with a single car, the ropeway underwent substantial safety improvements in 1998, including the installation of limit switches and rope-catch mechanisms.
The cable car route passes over numerous tea gardens and provides views of the Great Rangeet river, which originates from the glacial regions of Kabru.
The complete journey takes 45 minutes each way, with sixteen cars operating daily to transport up to 2000 passengers between the mountain stations.
After an incident in 2003, engineers conducted studies of mountain movements, leading to enhanced monitoring systems and structural reinforcements before reopening in 2012.
