Expansion
Construction of a 3.38 km long ropeway from Janki Chatti Kharsali to Yamunotri Dham is set to begin soon, which will enable up to 500 people to reach Yamunotri Dham in just an hour. The project is expected to cost around Rs 167 crore and an MoU will be signed with SRM Engineering Industry Limited for its construction, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. The new ropeway will be a significant boost for tourism in the area, providing a faster and more efficient mode of transportation for visitors. With the construction set to commence soon, this development is likely to create more job opportunities and boost the local economy as well.
The construction of the Kharsali to Yamunotri ropeway has been given the green light, as the Forest Ministry has granted clearance for its construction. The ropeway will operate under a public-private partnership (PPP) model and will be built using Mona cable technology. With a capacity to carry up to 500 passengers in an hour, the ropeway will significantly reduce the distance that devotees have to walk to reach Yamunotri Dham. Instead, they can reach their destination in just 15 to 20 minutes via the ropeway. This development will not only provide a more comfortable and convenient mode of transportation for visitors, but it will also contribute to the growth of tourism in the region.
