Ropeway @ Pampa-Sannidhaanam in Sabarimala!

The ropeway service from Pampa to Sannidhaanam aimed at facilitating the transport of devotees and goods will be established before the 2026 pilgrimage season.

It will be set up under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) contract at an appropriate cost of Rs.150 cr. 

The construction will begin by the end of Jan '25/early Feb '25

It was 17 years ago that the state government mooted a ropeway between the mainland and Sabarimala.

The 2.7 km-long ropeway will start from Pampa hilltop and end near Malikappuram police barracks and each cabin would be able to carry 500 kg.

At present, the devotees begin their pilgrimage walk from Pampa to Sannidhaanam via Neelimala, Appaachimedu, Sabari Peedham and Marakkoottam.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a quarter past 5, the chores and was ready by 5.

A quiet Wednesday. Earlier, carried out our usual Wednesday aarathi of the house.

Today was Navy Day!
