It was inaugurated on October 24, 2020.
The operation of the ropeway will create new employment opportunities at the local level in Junagadh. And Girnar will become an adventure hub and more tourists will come.
Girnar is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Gujarat due to the presence of Ambaji Temple, Dattatreya Temple and many Hindu temples as well as many Jain temples.
The project was first proposed by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) in 1983, with a proposal to convert approximately 9.1 hectares (22 acres) of forest land into common land. In 1994, the Gujarat government allowed a total of 7.29 hectares (18.0 acres) of forest land to be converted into common land and in its place approved new forest land near Tornia village. The Government of India also approved this in 1995.
