The 8-km long ropeway will start from Sewri in Mumbai’s east coast and end at the Elephanta Island in Raigad district. For the journey both ways, the tentative fare is expected to be around Rs.500 for Indians and Rs.1,000 for foreign tourists. The ropeway will also offer visitors a view of mudflats on the east coast as well as the mangroves.
