Dehradun-Mussoorie Ropeway to Take India’s Longest Ropeway Title, Set to Open in September 2026, Check Details and Travel Guidelines
Traveling between Dehradun and Mussoorie is set to become faster, greener, and more thrilling with India’s longest passenger ropeway, scheduled to open in September 2026. The 5.2-kilometre monocable detachable gondola system will soar 1,000 metres above the ground, cutting the usual 2-hour road journey down to a breezy 20-minute ride.
A Game-Changer for Tourism and Commuters
A collaborative effort between FIL Industries, SRM Engineering, and France’s POMA SAS, this state-of-the-art ropeway will operate year-round, rain or shine. Running entirely on electricity, it promises to be an eco-friendly alternative to road travel, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Safety is a top priority, with the system certified under stringent European standards (CEN). Regular inspections and advanced security measures will ensure passenger safety, while the gondolas—designed for comfort—will feature automatic doors, ample ventilation, and 10-seater diamond cabins.
Boosting Local Economy and Sustainability
Beyond convenience, the project is expected to boost local manufacturing and create job opportunities, with several components being produced in India. Once operational, the ropeway will ferry around 1,300 passengers per hour in each direction, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayan foothills.
For travelers seeking a quick, scenic, and sustainable way to commute between these two popular destinations, this gondola ride is set to redefine the journey.
