Girnar Ropeway
ગિરનાર રોપવે
A mountain ropeway opened in 2020 that climbs about 8 minutes from the foot of the mountain to near Ambaji Temple, sparing you thousands of steps.
The Girnar Ropeway runs about 2.3 km in total, and when it opened it was billed as the longest temple ropeway in Asia. It rises from the lower station near Bhavnath to the Ambaji Temple area at roughly 900 meters above sea level, a one-way trip of about 8 minutes, with views over forests and the Jain temple complex along the way. Round-trip fares are listed on the official website, and queues are common on public holidays, so consider buying tickets online in advance. After getting off the cable car, you still need to climb about 2,000 steps to reach the summit, where the Dattatreya Temple stands.
