BRAHMAPUTRA ROPEWAY

Aug. 26, 2020

The Assam government has inaugurated a 1.8-km ropeway across the Brahmaputra river, and described it as India’s longest river ropeway.

About:

Connecting Kachari Ghat (Guwahati) to Dol Govinda Temple on the northern bank, the ropeway passed the famous Umananda temple on a small island.
The ropeway uses a “twin-track, single-haul, bi-cable double reversible jig back” system. The ropeway comprises two cabins — each with a capacity of 30 passengers plus one operator.
