Darjeeling
Ride the Darjeeling Rangeet Valley Passenger Ropeway — India's oldest gondola system (1968), running 8 km from Darjeeling to Singla Tea Estate in the valley below. The cable car traverses tea estates, dense forests, and crosses the Rangeet River, offering aerial views of Darjeeling's hillside town and surrounding mountains.
The ropeway has limited operating hours and is often closed for maintenance — confirm operational status at your hotel before planning. Views of the Kanchenjunga range on clear mornings are exceptional.
