Shillong to Get First Ropeway for Tourists in 2025
Imagine a sky-high train ride coming to Shillong!
It's a new ropeway, like a cable car, that will let tourists easily visit cool places.
It's being built to help people get around without getting stuck in traffic.
This ride will go from Madan Laban to Shillong Peak and cost lots of money.
The new ropeway is supposed to show off the pretty scenery.
Plus, they're planning other fun stuff like eco-friendly hotels and a skywalk so even more people can visit!
Shillong, Meghalaya, will soon have a 2km-long ropeway connecting major tourist sites.

The ropeway will link Madan Laban to Shillong Peak.
The project, costing approximately ₹175 crore, was launched on January 16, 2025.
