Cable car projects that operate more than a kilometre between two mountains without any support are rare in the world. The Sri Lankan people will have the chance to experience this rare opportunity before the end of this year.
The first cable car project in the country covering a distance of 1.8 km between Ambuluwawa Religious and Biodiversity Complex to the summit of Ambuluwawa Hill in Gampola and from there to Ambuluwawa Agrarian Tower is a joint venture of Chinese and American investors.
The first phase of this project is to be completed by October this year.
Chinese Ambassador in Sri Lanka Qi Zhenhong on Sunday (24) visited Ambuluwawa for an inspection of the project and met the Chairman of Ambuluwawa Trust and Parliamentarian Anuradha Jayaratne.
“The feasibility study of the project had been completed 18 years ago, and it has turned a reality far from being a dream due to the Chinese and American investors. The cable car service would be expanded to the location of Gampola Railway Station so that the foreign tourists travelling to Nuwara Eliya will have the opportunity to break journey at Gampola and enjoy a cable car ride to Ambuluwawa,†the parliamentarian told the Ambassador.
He said he is hopeful that Gampola will turn into a popular tourist destination in the world.
