ROPEWAY-DARJEELING

Darjeeling is famous for its panoramic views, of which one is Ropeway. It's also called the Rangeet Valley Passenger Cable Car because of the spectacular view of the valley around the river Little Rangeet. You need to board the cable car from Singamari, which is 3kms away from Darjeeling Chowk Bazaar. As you ride the cable car, in about 45 minutes, you will travel from an altitude of about 7,000 ft. down to 800 ft., where the last station Singla Bazar is present.

Ropeway in Darjeeling started in 1968 and is India's first cable car system. From starting with one cable car, it is now updated to accommodate 16 cable cars, each having a capacity of six persons. It was initially set up to cater to the tea gardens at the valleys below, which did not otherwise have easy access. If you want a full gondola, you need to buy six tickets.
