Coming soon: Ropeway to Lord Hanuman’s birth place Anjaneri Hills in Nashik

As per the latest development, the Centre has started the process to build an ambitious 6-km ropeway to the Anjaneri hills in Nashik, which is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Reportedly, the project will see an investment worth INR 377 crore, and will likely become operational in the next two years from the Brahmagiri trekking point to Anjaneri hills. Currently, it’s a steep road, and takes nearly two to three hours to cover on foot.

As per the reports, Anjaneri Hills will soon have a ropeway that will increase connectivity to the pilgrim site. As of now, pilgrims have to climb three mountains to reach the temple, which is nestled at a height of more than 4,200 ft. However, once the ropeway, measuring 5.7 km in length, comes up across the three mountains, the journey to the top will be reduced to just a few minutes.

Reports add that over the next two years, the Centre will build this ropeway, which will connect the trekking point, Brahmagiri to Anjaneri Hills. Currently, to climb this steep road, one needs a whopping two to three hours to cover by walking.
Similarly, a 12-km ropeway project is also planned in Tamil Nadu from Palani to Kodaikanal, which is a popular hill station. Then there is another 7-km ropeway to the Kodachadri hills in Karnataka’s Udupi district, and an over 3-km one to the Bijli Mahadev Temple in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. Also, reports add that another ropeway will be built to the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh across the Krishna river from Eegalapenta in Telangana.
