What is UK Parvat Mala Ropeway Scheme?
Parvat Mala is the central government's national ropeway development programme implemented in Uttarakhand to connect remote mountain villages with markets, schools, hospitals, and administrative centres. Ropeways reduce travel time from several hours on foot to minutes, serving daily commuters, pilgrims on Char Dham routes (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri), and tourists on adventure/eco-tourism circuits. Corridors in Uttarakhand include Garhwal and Kumaon hill areas. Jointly funded by Centre and State.
