The Uttarakhand government is constantly striving to provide facilities to religious pilgrims and tourists. In this direction, a new ropeway will be built to make the journey from Rishikesh to Neelkanth Mahadev temple even easier. According to media reports, the formalities for the Rishikesh-Neelkanth ropeway project are being completed rapidly. It is expected that all the formalities related to this ropeway project will be completed soon, after which work on it will start.

The construction of this ropeway will make the journey to the Neelkanth Mahadev temple extremely convenient. At present, people have to go through difficult mountain paths and traffic to reach the Neelkanth temple, but after the ropeway starts, this journey will be completed in a few minutes, which will give great relief to both devotees and tourists.

Parvatmala Project

In the last four years, the Uttarakhand government has taken rapid steps to develop ropeway infrastructure in mountainous areas. Work has already started on 39 ropeway projects under the ‘Parvatmala Pariyojana’, including planned ropeway projects in Nainital (2), Almora (7), Jageshwar (2), Pithoragarh (3), and Champawat (2) in the Manaskhand corridor.

Other important ropeway routes proposed under the Parvatmala Pariyojana are as follows:

Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib:- Both these ropeway projects have spiritual significance and will make the Chardham Yatra even more accessible.

Rishikesh to Neelkanth:- The one we are talking about now will be a great facility for the devotees of Lord Shiva.

Auli to Gorson:- For those who enjoy skiing and natural beauty.

Ranibagh to Hanuman Mandir:- Will promote religious tourism.

Panchkoti to Bauraari:- Will strengthen local connectivity.

Balaati Bandh to Khalia Top:- For trekkers and nature lovers.

Raithal-Barsu to Barnala:- Will promote rural tourism.

Uttarkashi town to Varunavat hill:- For both residents and tourists.

Kanakchauri to Kartik Swami Temple:- Will make access to another important religious place easier.

The construction of these ropeways will not only provide great relief to pilgrims and tourists, but it will also boost the local economy of Uttarakhand.

Dehradun to Mussoorie ropeway

The construction work of the Dehradun to Mussoorie ropeway project is also going to start soon. Along with roads, the state government is also focusing on rail, ropeway, and air connectivity. This will not only improve the travel of people in remote areas, but will also give a tremendous boost to tourism there.

Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

Let us tell you that the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, located in Rishikesh, is one of the prestigious temples of Lord Shiva. Every year, lakhs of devotees come to visit this Shiva temple. The carvings of this temple are worth seeing, and its spiritual aura leaves devotees spellbound. Currently, one has to cross various types of mountains and rivers to reach the temple, which can be a tough journey. The ropeway will turn this difficult journey into an easy and memorable experience.
