Devotees will now reach the Radha Rani Temple in Barsana from the ground in just 7 minutes

Mathura : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, initiated a new ropeway project for the people of Braj, enhancing accessibility to the Ladli Kishori Radha Rani seated on Brahmachal mountain. The ropeway project is being started on PPP model under Mathura-Vrindavan Development Authority at a cost of Rs 15.89 crore in Barsana.

Previously, visitors had to climb 251 stairs to reach the temple dedicated to Radha Rani. With the new ropeway, devotees can now reach the temple more conveniently. The ropeway will span upto 210 meters, featuring 12 trolleys, each capable of seating six people.

Positioned 30 meters above ground level, it will transport visitors from the base to the temple in about five to seven minutes. The system is designed to accommodate 72 visitors per hour. The project includes two stations equipped with ticket counters, along with facilities such as toilet blocks, canteens, and waiting halls for tourists.

The fare for a round-trip on the ropeway will be Rs 100, while a one-way ticket will cost Rs 60. Children over the age of five will also require tickets to avail the service.
