History Of Rajgir Ropeway

Rajgir, Bihar, India
Sub Place Details: The Rajgir Ropeway, often referred to as the Chairlift, is one of the oldest and most iconic ropeways in India. It serves as the primary mode of transport for pilgrims and tourists heading to the Vishwa Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) located atop the Ratnagiri Hill. The ropeway offers a thrilling single-seater chairlift experience that takes you over the dense forests of the Pant Wildlife Sanctuary. As you ascend, the panoramic views of the five hills of Rajgir—Ratnagiri, Vipulgiri, Vaibhavgiri, Songiri, and Udaygiri—unfold in a breathtaking manner. The ride is approximately 7-10 minutes long and reaches a significant height, providing a bird's-eye view of the ancient city's ruins and the surrounding valley. Historically, the ropeway was a gift from the Japanese government to facilitate access to the Peace Pagoda, which was built to spread the message of non-violence. In recent years, a new cabin-style ropeway has also been introduced to accommodate more passengers and provide a more stable ride for the elderly. The chairlift remains a favorite for adventure lovers who enjoy the wind in their hair and the feeling of dangling above the trees. At the top, besides the stupa, there are several small temples and viewpoints. The experience is not just about the destination but the journey itself, offering a unique perspective on the geography of the Magadha region. The ropeway is managed by the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation (BSTDC), ensuring regular maintenance and safety checks. It is a vital link in the Buddhist Circuit, connecting the valley to the sacred peaks where Lord Buddha once meditated. For anyone visiting Rajgir, the ropeway ride is considered a quintessential experience that combines religious devotion with a dash of adrenaline.
