Hyderabad: Hyderabad is going to get its first-ever ropeway service which will connect Golconda Fort and the Qutub Shahi Tombs.
It will also offer breathtaking views and ease traffic congestion.
The ropeway will feature six-seater cable cars. The charges are likely to be Rs 100–200 per ride.
According to a report published in TOI, the 2-km aerial transport system will allow tourists to glide between the historic sites in just 5 to 10 minutes.
Currently, travelers take 15–20 minutes by road to commute between the two sites, especially during peak hours.
The ropeway’s two terminals which will be located near Golconda Fort’s entrance and the Qutub Shahi Tombs complex in Hyderabad can provide transportation to 5,000–8,000 daily visitors. During the weekends, the footfalls increase to over 10,000.
The project which will be constructed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model will need tall support towers between two heritage sites.
Initially, the project will start its operation with two cable car
which can be expanded later based on the response.This post was last modified on August 4, 2025 10:33 am
