The Bandipur Cable Car service will remain closed for one day on August 11, 2026, due to scheduled regular maintenance, according to Bandipur Cable Car and Tourism Limited. The company has informed visitors that the cable car service will be suspended for the day as part of routine maintenance work intended to ensure the safety, reliability, and smooth operation of the cable car system.
Cable Car Service Suspended on August 11
The closure has been scheduled for Shrawan 26, 2083 BS, which falls on the final Tuesday of Shrawan. Visitors planning to use the Bandipur Cable Car on that day are advised to take note of the temporary suspension and plan their trips accordingly. The company has apologized for any inconvenience caused by the maintenance-related closure.
Other Tourist Services to Remain Operational
Although the cable car will not operate on the scheduled maintenance day, several other attractions and services operated by Bandipur Cable Car and Tourism Limited will continue to function normally.
These include:
- Sky Cycling
- Zipline
- Ghumaaune Ghar (Rotating House)
- Drive-In Restaurant
The continued operation of these attractions means visitors can still enjoy several tourism and recreational activities in Bandipur even while the cable car remains temporarily closed.
Maintenance Intended to Support Safe Operations
Regular maintenance is an important part of cable car operations, particularly for ensuring the safety and reliability of mechanical, electrical and operational systems. The scheduled one-day closure will allow the company to carry out necessary maintenance work without the pressure of regular passenger operations. The company has urged visitors to cooperate with the temporary closure and expressed regret for the inconvenience caused.
Bandipur Cable Car as a Tourism Attraction
The Bandipur Cable Car has become an important tourism attraction in Bandipur, providing visitors with an alternative way to experience the hill town and its surrounding landscape. Bandipur is widely known for its preserved Newari architecture, cultural heritage, mountain views and hilltop setting.
The cable car and associated recreational attractions have added another dimension to the destination by combining transportation with tourism and adventure activities. With attractions such as ziplining, sky cycling, the rotating house and a drive-in restaurant continuing to operate, visitors will still have several options for recreation during the temporary cable car shutdown.
Visitors Advised to Plan Ahead
Tourists intending to visit Bandipur on August 11 are advised to consider the temporary cable car closure when planning their itinerary. The company is expected to resume normal cable car operations after the scheduled maintenance is completed. The temporary shutdown is part of the company’s regular maintenance schedule and is not a permanent suspension of the service.
