Jakhoo Ropeway, Shimla Overview

The Jakhu Ropeway is a cable car that connects the Ridge to Jakhu Temple at the top of Jakhu Hill, the highest point in Shimla, saving you the steep uphill walk. Cabins seat around six people, and the ride itself gives good views over the town and surrounding hills on the way up.

The fantastic Gondola ride rises to 8,054 feet above sea level and covers the distance of half a kilometre in not more than 5-6 minutes, thereby sparing you of the usual human congestion on the roads. The Jakhoo ropeway is one of the four major ropeway attractions in the state, with the other being - Solang Nala at Rohtang, Naina Devi in Bilaspur and Timber Trial in Solan. Each ropeway cabin can carry six people and is one of the safest ropeways in all of India, having been inaugurated recently. The formidable surrounding scenery is bound to leave you breathless.
