After decades of planning, the 2.9 km cable car project aims to transform tourism at Nandi Hills, offering panoramic views and modern facilities.

The 2.9-kilometre ropeway, a public-private partnership with Dynamicx Ropeway Private Limited, will feature 50 semi-closed cabins, ferrying visitors between lower and upper terminals while offering panoramic views of the hills.

The lower terminal will include parking for 200+ cars, 110 two-wheelers, and multiple buses, alongside a waiting area for up to 600 people. Civil work is expected to commence by the end of this year or early 2025, with a 1.5-year construction timeline.

The final regulatory challenge involves forest clearance, as one supporting pillar falls within forest land. Once this is resolved, the ropeway will provide a modern, scenic experience at one of Karnataka’s most popular tourist destinations.
