To enhance tourist infrastructure in Uttarakhand and facilitate a convenient journey for pilgrims, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recently approved ropeway projects for two spiritual sites: Sonprayag to Kedarnath and Govindghat to Hemkund Sahib Ji.

The projects, at a total cost of Rs 6,811 crore, will help significantly reduce the travel time to the pilgrimage sites and boost tourism. The construction of these two ambitious projects is likely to be completed in 4-6 years.
