It is to be noted that the Guwahati-North Guwahati route will be the longest ropeway distance over a river in the entire country.
The cable car will take about seven minutes to take passengers across the river from North Guwahati to Guwahati. The total length of this ropeway is 2 Km and its cabins have been imported from Switzerland.
