THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS

The tourism authorities of the Indian state of Sikkim launched the Pelling cable car project in 2022. This twelfth POMA cable car in India consists of a detachable cable car one kilometer long with 14 cabins, each with 8 seats, whose pylons are separated by a distance of more than 500 meters. The route ends near the Sanghak Choeling monastery, making it easier to visit the bodhisattva Chenrezig at the top of the mountain. This project will attract more people to Pelling, an important tourist destination in the mountainous state of Sikkim.
