The Gulmarg Gondola in Jammu & Kashmir is one of the world’s highest operating cable cars. A joint venture with the French firm Pomagalski, these cars ferry about 600 people an hour, to and from the Kongdoori Mountain. At maximum height, the cable cars can take you to 12,293 ft, at Kangdoori Mountain, a shoulder of the nearby Afarwat Peak.
