NFR Planning To Construct A Ropeway From Kamakhya Railway Station To Kamakhaya Temple

The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) is planning to construct a ropeway from the Kamakhya Railway Station to the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati.

“Kamakhya temple attracts a lot of pilgrims and visitors and the ropeway can add value to tourism in the principal city of Assam,” NFR’s general manager Anshul Gupta said during an Independence Day programme.

About 1.5 km aerial distances were there between the railway station on the western ends of the city and the temple atop, the Nilachal Hills on the southern bank of the Brahmaputra River.

The city has already one with 1,820 metres across the Brahmaputra connecting Guwahati and North Guwahati which is India's longest ropeway across a river.
