In a major development, the Himachal Pradesh government has announced plans to build India’s longest ropeway, connecting Parwanoo to Shimla across 11 stations.
According to reports, the 40 km ropeway will significantly cut travel time between the two destinations to just two hours. This ambitious project addresses the severe traffic congestion on the existing 90 km road stretch, which sees a daily movement of 20,000 to 22,000 vehicles. While introducing a four-lane highway has eased some pressure, the ropeway promises a more sustainable and long-term transportation solution.
