Joshimath -Auli ropeway will not operate yet.

Chamoli: Joshimath-Auli ropeway, which was closed after the disaster, will not operate at present because all the towers of the ropeway Joshimath -Auli, that was closed after the disaster, will not operate at present, it have to be replaced, that will take a long time.

After the report of the technical team, the speculations regarding the operation of the ropeway have also come to an end. The operation of Joshimath-Auli Ropeway, one of the largest ropeways in Asia, was stopped in January 2023 due to landslides. There was speculation that once the landslide situation in the city becomes normal, the operation of the ropeway will be started, but in the survey by the technical team, it has been said that many towers of the ropeway have been damaged.

The survey team has suggested that the elements of all the towers should be changed and constructed afresh. This entire process will take a lot of time. In such a situation, now the ropeway will operate only after replacing the towers. While the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam is facing financial loss due to closure of the ropeway, the tourists coming to Auli with the desire to travel by ropeway are also facing financial loss.

Joshimath-Auli Ropeway has 10 towers. The distance of this ropeway from Joshimath to Auli is about four and a half km. Most of the tourists coming to Auli prefer to travel by ropeway. This not only saves time but also provides relief from the jam on Joshimath-Auli road. The view of Auli is visible in 360 degrees from the tower.
