Billionaire Gautam Adani-led group's flagship firm has won a contract to build a nearly 13-km-long ropeway project connecting Sonprayag with Kedarnath, the company said on Monday.

Sonprayag is the final point accessible by road for pilgrims heading to the Kedarnath Temple. The Union cabinet had in March this year approved the ropeway project, expected to cost about Rs 4,081 crore, to provide pilgrims with a faster, more comfortable and environmentally friendly mode of travel.
