The Ropeway is popularly known as Rangeet Valley Ropeway, the longest indigenous ropeway in India, a 2.5 km long ride on colourful Gondolas, providing a view of the lush green tea garden and the magnificent Kanchenjungha range.

This ropeway was built in the 1960’s as a 6 km long Monocable Jig Back System for transportation of logs. It was later revamped to a high capacity Monocable Continuous Rotating Gondola System to serve the high tourist flow visiting the Queen of the Hills.
