Kashmir's new ski lift gives rise to adventure

Advertisements [?]

Indian Kashmir, which is battling a 15-year-old insurgency by Islamic rebels, is hoping to entice skiers and adventure tourists from around the world when it opens the world's highest gondola ski lift later this month.

The ropeway stretching 2.5km will connect the bowl-shaped Kongdoori Valley with the 4,390m-high Afarwat peak.

"The ropeway is almost complete. God willing we will inaugurate it on March 30," said Farooq Ahmed, head of the Cable Car Cooperation, one of the Kashmir government's few profit-making enterprises
