History and significance
Starting in 1968, the Darjeeling Ropeway holds the distinction of being India’s first cable car system. Initially conceived to provide easy access to the tea gardens nestled in the valleys below, it has evolved into a must-do activity for tourists seeking panoramic views.
Flexible exploration
Unlike rigid schedules, the ropeway allows you to hop on and off at your leisure. Board the cable car at Singamari, located about 3 kilometres away from Darjeeling’s bustling Chowk Bazaar. As it descends from an altitude of around 7,000 feet to 800 feet at Singla Bazar, feast your eyes on lush green tea gardens, flowing rivers, and dense forests. The snow-capped peaks of Kanchenjunga loom majestically in the distance.
