History
Darjeeling is known as one of the most beautiful hill stations in the world, with breathtaking views ranging from the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas to the valley's lush tea plantations. As a result, the Darjeeling Ropeway is a popular tourist attraction in Darjeeling, transporting visitors over the enchanted valley in style. As the country's first cable-car system, the Darjeeling Ropeway serves the tea estates in the valleys, which were previously inaccessible. Today, it is a sought-after tourist destination, bringing in throngs of visitors year-round to take in the splendor of Darjeeling's landscape. Cable cars convey passengers at a height of 7000 feet from the North Point in Singamari to Singla Bazaar, a beautiful riverside bazaar nestled along its banks. This trek is a must-do for any visitor to Darjeeling because of the breathtaking views of the tea gardens, waterfalls, and the towering Kanchenjunga. There are plenty of picture opportunities on board the gondola, which cruises at a leisurely pace. It takes around an hour and fifteen minutes to go back to Singamari from the cable car's base station.
