Uttarakhand to Develop Ropeway Projects for Kedarnath, Hemkund Sahib
The Indian government is building new ropeways in Uttarakhand, like ski lifts, to make it easier to visit holy places.
These projects will cost a lot of money and will make it easier to travel to Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib.
The state will use this to boost tourism and the economy by attracting more people to explore religious sites and enjoy the Himalayan landscape.
The local government thinks it will make Uttarakhand famous around the world.
An agreement was signed to develop two ropeway projects.
The projects are for Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib.
The total value of the projects is ₹6,800 crore.
The ropeway from Sonprayag to Kedarnath will be 12.9 kilometers long.
The project aims to boost tourism and improve connectivity.
