pre-trip preparation

Morning and evening are the best times to visit the ropeway, as during these times the weather is clear and the views are clear. However, ropeway services may be temporarily closed during bad weather or monsoon in hilly areas. Therefore, be sure to get information about the concerned place before travelling.


following safety rules

It is necessary to follow all safety instructions while traveling on the ropeway. Bending, standing or unnecessary movements should be avoided in the moving cabin.
