The Lumbini cable car which is under construction will reach to Basantpur Danda in Tinahun Rural Municipality of Palpa district from Bamghat in Butwal sub-metropolitan city of Rupandehi district, will be in operation from the month of Magh.
Presenting the progress report at the recent general meeting of the company, Chandra Prasad Dhakal, Chairman of Lumbini Cable Car Private Limited, said that the construction of the cable car will be completed within Poush and it will be in operation from the 1st of Magh.
Basantpur Hill, which will be reached after a three-kilometer long cable car journey, will be built with facilities including hotels, amusement parks, and temples.
"The construction work of about 400 meters access road leading to the lower station of cable car has been completed. The construction work of the sub-structure of the lower station is almost completed and the work of the superstructure and the site development work is progressing. Out of the nine towers, the civil construction work of 8 towers has been completed and the work of the remaining towers is going on," he said.
In addition, he said that the work of the sub-structure at the upper station is in the final stage and the work of importing cable car equipment and parts has progressed.
Similarly, since the construction work of the temple area in the upper station has to be completed along with the cable car project, he said that the currently working construction company has been instructed to start the work.
Dhakal also informed that discussions are being held with international consultants to connect the proposed hotel at the upper station with an international chain hotel.
Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli laid the foundation stone of the cable car on Falgun 1, 2077.
