\"Cable-Car<\/a>
Cable-Car Rides in India<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Had there been wings to fly, the first thing I would have done was to fly over the snow clad mountainous valleys and rushing waters of the rivers. Well, having wings can be a crazy imagination, but having a bird\u2019s eye-view of the spectacular mountains and lyrical water of the rivers is definitely not! Thanks to the technology that developed the cable-car centuries ago, travelling between the mountains has become a lot easier today! In fact, it is one of the major attractions for the tourists all over the country who throng the mountainous valleys to catch a glimpse of the pristine beauty of the hill-stations.<\/p>\n

A cable-car is an aerial tram also known as a trolley or a gondola in various parts of the country. It is mostly found in the hilly-terrains to travel between one station to the other. It may have been developed for commuting purpose precisely but today it is more of a joy-ride at most of the hill-stations in India. Visiting a hill-station and not experiencing the cable-car ride is just like sitting on a horse but not riding it! Its incomplete! Although this joy-ride can be enjoyed at any mountainous region, there are certain places which offer exceptionally scenic views that are worth admiring.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of some of the most pleasurable cable-car rides in India that must be experienced at least once in a lifetime-<\/p>\n

    The second highest cable-car ride in the world, the Gulmarg Gondola Ride is one of the craziest rides to go for. Amidst the snow-carpeted mountains of Kashmir, this ride provides a pleasurably thrilling experience.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Auli Cable Car-<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
