Bhubaneswar: Visitors to Nandankanan Zoo can once again enjoy the ropeway rides that are scheduled to resume from February 15, a Nandankanan Zoo official announced.
By February 10, the company responsible for the ropeway’s installation will hand it over to the management of Nandankanan Zoological Park, informed the announcement,
According to the official, the project is completed and cabin installation work for the ropeway is now underway.
The first phase would see the installation of four cabins for guests. Later, eight additional cabins will be added in two phases.
After the installation of 12 cabins, approximately 500 people can ride the ropeway in an hour, said the official.
