- Purpose: To reduce travel time and ensure safety and comfort for pilgrims.
Expected Benefits
The ropeway will not only speed up the journey but also reduce congestion along the trekking paths. It is anticipated to enhance safety and provide stunning aerial views of the surrounding landscapes, adding to the spiritual experience.
Timeline for Completion
Authorities are working on fast-tracking the project, with a completion timeline expected to be announced soon. Once operational, the ropeway could transform the pilgrimage experience for millions of devotees.
The ₹300 crore Katra-Vaishno Devi ropeway project reflects the commitment to improving facilities for pilgrims while preserving the sanctity of the journey. As this project unfolds, it promises to make the revered pilgrimage accessible to all.
