Summer vacations at hill stations are a favorite getaway for many, and the experience gets even better with the excitement of ropeways. These sky-high rides offer tourists a unique and thrilling way to explore the mountains. While ropeways are found in several hill stations across the country, the Dehradun-Mussoorie Ropeway stands out as the longest in India. Developed by Mussoorie Sky Car Private Limited, this ambitious project, set to cost ₹300 crores, promises to offer an unforgettable experience. Unveiled in 2023, it’s poised to become a major attraction for tourists seeking adventure and scenic beauty.

Work on the Dehradun-Mussoorie Ropeway, which spans 5.2 km, is progressing and will be ready for tourists by September 2026. This modern, detachable gondola system will rise to a height of 1,000 meters, offering stunning aerial views. The ropeway will connect Dehradun and Mussoorie, two popular destinations in the region. Currently, the road journey between these two areas covers 33 km and takes about two hours. However, the ropeway will reduce the travel time to just 20 minutes.
