Two of the most popular hill stations in North India are set to be connected by a cable car soon. The Mussoorie Sky Car is expected to be the longest passenger ropeway in South Asia, connecting Dehradun to Mussoorie. Once completed, this 5.2 km mono-cable detachable gondola system will reduce the travel time between these two popular mountain destinations in Uttarakhand to just 20 minutes.
Currently, the journey by road from Dehradun to Mussoorie is approximately 34 km and takes about an hour and a half. There is no direct train service between both the destinations either.
