Uttarakhand, known for its stunning landscapes and pristine natural beauty, is set to embark on a transformative journey in tourism infrastructure with the signing of a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the state government and the esteemed Poma Group. The agreement was formalized in a ceremony held in London, marking a significant milestone for both the state and the ropeway construction industry.
The MOU outlines the collaboration between the Uttarakhand government and the Poma Group to design, construct, and operate a series of ropeway projects in key tourist destinations across the state. These projects aim to enhance accessibility to remote and challenging terrains while offering tourists a unique and immersive experience.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister, in his statement following the signing, expressed enthusiasm for the transformative potential of this partnership. He stated, “Uttarakhand has long been a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Our collaboration with the Poma Group will allow us to harness the full potential of our natural beauty while ensuring safety, convenience, and environmental sustainability.”
The Poma Group, with its extensive experience and global reputation for ropeway construction, brings cutting-edge technology and expertise to the table. Their ropeway systems are known for their reliability, safety, and minimal environmental impact, making them an ideal choice for Uttarakhand’s sensitive ecological areas.
The first phase of the ropeway project is expected to commence in the picturesque town of Mussoorie, providing visitors with an aerial journey that showcases panoramic views of the Himalayan range. Subsequent phases will extend to other hill stations and remote areas in Uttarakhand, opening up new tourism avenues and boosting the local economy.
The Uttarakhand government and the Poma Group are committed to ensuring that these projects align with environmental sustainability and adhere to strict safety standards. As this collaboration takes shape, it holds the promise of making Uttarakhand an even more inviting destination for travelers while preserving its natural heritage for generations to come.
