Tadoba National Park to soon offer world’s first-ever ropeway safari
In an exciting development for wildlife enthusiasts, Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra is all set to offer a unique experience to the visitors. For the first time ever, it will likely offer a unique way to experience the jungle—via a ropeway safari. Till now you have been enjoying jeep safari, but now this ropeway safari will take your wildlife experience to the next level.If reports are to go by, French ropeway company POMA SAS has proposed what could be the world’s first ropeway system over a tiger reserve. This will allow visitors to spot tigers and other wildlife from above the ground, and get an aerial perspective. This initiative will surely enhance wildlife tourism, along with preserving Tadoba’s rich ecosystem.
Benjamin Fauchier Delavigne, Public Affairs Director and Head of Sales for Asia at POMA SAS, officially presented the company’s intent to Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, during a foundation stone ceremony for Pernod Ricard’s distillery in Butibori.
POMA SAS has previously completed projects including ropeways in popular Indian tourist areas like Patni Top, Kashmir, and Mussoorie. It is now interested in constructing a modern ropeway in Tadoba to provide visitors of all stripes with an immersive and environmentally sustainable forest experience.
As per the project, the said ropeway will take visitors through dense forest, and will enable them to spot wildlife from various angles, and all while maintaining the peace below, and not disturbing the wildlife in any way. Delavigne elaborated the importance of the ropeway's design in ensuring minimal disturbance to the natural environment. He added that the ropeway will operate without disturbing the peace and tranquility of the forest.
