The eagerly anticipated Neelkanth Ropeway Rishikesh project is set to become a reality, drastically reducing the arduous 25-kilometer journey to a mere 5.5 kilometers.

With this development, a thousand pilgrims can ascend to the sacred site in just one hour, making the divine connection with Lord Shiva more accessible than ever. Here’s what you need to know about this transformative project:

Overview: Neelkanth Ropeway Rishikesh

• Neelkanth Mahadev temple, perched amidst the scenic beauty of Rishikesh, holds immense significance for Lord Shiva devotees. Each year, countless pilgrims flock to this sacred place, seeking the divine presence of Bholenath. However, the arduous 12-kilometer trek has long been a challenge, prompting a growing demand for a more convenient mode of transportation.

A Green Signal for the Neelkanth Ropeway

The proposal for the Rishikesh-Neelkanth Ropeway has received a green signal, following approval in the board meeting of the Uttarakhand Metro Rail Urban Infrastructure and Building Construction Corporation Limited (UKMRC). This proposal has now been forwarded to the cabinet for final approval. Upon receiving this green light, construction will commence.

Cutting the Journey to Minutes

The existing journey between Rishikesh and Neelkanth Mahadev temple can be an arduous undertaking, often taking hours to traverse the 25-kilometer distance due to the overwhelming crowds.

The Neelkanth Ropeway Rishikesh, expected to cost around Rs 455 crore, promises to transform this experience. With a total length of 5.5 kilometers and two intermediate stations, the journey will become remarkably more accessible.
