Aerial view off Gangtok

We dint try it as we have already tried ropeways in other parts of India. The namchi ropeway gives an aerial view of Gangtok. The rates are very reasonable- Rs 177 per person.

Namchi Ropeway Adventure

Very nice experience. Two way trip is only Rs.150 + gst. Rock garden need to be more decorated. Automatic locking system of the cars make it safe.

SHORT and SWEET

Stopped over for a ride till the PADMASAMBHAVA from the rock garden as only that portion was working. The ride was good but the cabin size was small and felt suffocated. Suits good for winter season. ..
