History:
The Jakhoo Ropeway was inaugurated in 2017 to provide easier access to the Jakhoo Temple, situated atop Jakhoo Hill, the highest peak in Shimla. Previously, reaching the temple required a steep and challenging climb. The ropeway project aimed to improve connectivity and promote tourism in the area. Its construction involved overcoming logistical challenges due to the hill's terrain. Since its opening, the ropeway has become a significant attraction, significantly reducing travel time and effort for visitors while offering spectacular views during the journey.
