Darjeeling Rangeet Valley Passenger Ropeway

About

Darjeeling, known as the "Queen of the Hills," is a renowned hill station in West Bengal, India. With its exquisite tea gardens, mesmerizing scenic beauty, and the majestic Kanchenjunga mountain range, it has been attracting tourists from all over the world for well over a century. One of the significant attractions in Darjeeling is the Darjeeling Ropeway, officially known as the Rangeet Valley Passenger Cable Car. The history of the Darjeeling Ropeway dates back to 1968 when it was established as India's first passenger ropeway. It was initially built to serve the primary purpose of transporting goods, especially tea, from the valleys to the top, facilitating the tea estates across difficult terrains. Providing a more efficient means of transport was crucial for the development of the tea industry, which remains one of the central pillars of Darjeeling's economy. Recognizing the potential for tourism, the ropeway was eventually opened to the public, allowing visitors to experience spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The ability to have a bird's eye view of lush tea gardens, dense forests, and the meandering rivers below rapidly caught the interest of travelers seeking unique experiences.
