Shimla, February 15 The Himachal Pradesh Government has decided to develop a zipline project at Naddi, which is said to be Asia's longest, in the scenic Dhauladhar valley of the Kangra district, an official statement issued here on Sunday said.
The proposed 4.3 km long Naddi Zipline Project, estimated to cost Rs 7.41 crore, is envisioned as a landmark adventure tourism initiative to boost tourism in the Kangra region, the statement said.
The Kangra district has been accorded the status of a tourism capital by the state government, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said.
To strengthen supporting infrastructure and promote sustainable tourism development in the district, the government is implementing several initiatives, Sukhu said.
The project will feature four stations – Gallu (starting point), Ball village, Naddi, and Maggie Point Khad (terminating point) – offering visitors a thrilling experience while showcasing the breathtaking natural beauty of the Dhauladhar ranges.
The zipline at the Naddi View Point in Dharamshala, a location renowned for its panoramic vistas, is proposed to be completed within 36 months.
Once completed, the project would enhance the tourism infrastructure, attract adventure enthusiasts, generate employment opportunities, and contribute to the region's overall economic growth.
