The proposed ropeway will connect Yamunotri with Kharsali, where devotees worship Goddess Yamuna during winter. With a length of 3.38 km, the ropeway will be a mono cable detachable system with the capacity to carry up to 500 people per hour. It will be built in accordance with European standards and offer a safe and comfortable mode of transport for the pilgrims.
The new ropeway will save pilgrims from a 2-3 hour trek to the temple and transport them by cable car in just 10-15 minutes. This is expected to boost tourism and increase the number of visitors to the shrine.
