Siddhnath Shiv temple is located between Takhat Sagar hills. On the road going from the right of filter house on Jodhpur-Chopasani Road, on crossing the stairs made by cutting rocks, one can reach Siddhnath temple. Many years ago it was an absolutely deserted place. And because of that, a hermit Veetragi Narain Swami started staying here. He was a highly worshipped and respected saint, known in the nearby areas. Once a handicapped saint named Gaurishanker, later known as Nepali Baba, came to this place. He had only four fingers in each of his hand and foot. He made a big temple by cutting stones, which is now known as Siddhnath.

Selection of the system

A. Fixed Grip Gondola system is ruled out because Boarding / de-boarding needs to be carried out when the system is on. This would lead to serious problem particularly in the case of elderly persons and children.

B. Jig Back system is ruled out because the length of the ropeway is too long. C. Detachable Grip Gondola system is ruled out because of the following reasons: a. Capacity is too low for this type of system b. Cost will be higher c. More space is required. d. Stoppage at Intermediate terminal will not be possible

D. Fixed Grip Circulating Gondola system is felt in order because of the following reasons:

C/3, 241, Sector 3, Chiratkoot Scheme, Vaishali, Jaipur, Rajasthan-302011 Mob. 94140-07197 Email: [email protected] ______a. Circulating Gondola system is a fixed grip system but complete stoppage at station facilitates boarding / de boarding. b. Less costly. c. Matches with capacity requirement

Based on the above, it is therefore recommended the use of the following ropeway system:

System Operation

In this type of ropeway, an endless hauling rope is fixed between two terminal sheaves at lower and upper station. Cabins are permanently attached to the hauling rope at equal intervals in such a way that while one cabin is at one station the other station also has one cabin at the same position in the station. Here there will be 20 nos. cabins for the entire length of the rope.

C/3, 241, Sector 3, Chiratkoot Scheme, Vaishali, Jaipur, Rajasthan-302011 Mob. 94140-07197 Email: [email protected] ______Journey from one station to the other will have four intermittent stops, each for 24 seconds (for boarding/de-boarding) in between, Passengers will board a stationery cabin at one station. After the allowed boarding de-boarding time the cabin will start moving, accelerating up to the travel speed and then will continue to move at uniform speed. When the fifth cabin ahead of this cabin approaches the other station, the ropeway will start decelerating and come to a halt when the fifth cabin ahead is at the other station. Passenger will then board/de board the cabin while it is stationery at the other station. This cycle will continue and all the cabins will stop at both the station at pre determined time interval.

Along the line the rope will be supported on line sheaves fitted on mount beams. Mount beams both with positive or negative loads will be supported on trestles. Mount beams will have rope de- ropement sensing switches to sense and stop the ropeway in case of de-ropement and indication will come on panel at drive station.

Drive of the ropeway will be located at upper station. Drive gears will sequentially consist of Main Moor, Brake Drum Type Coupling 20

Pre designed fixed tension is applied to the hauling rope to ensure correct tension in the hauling rope at all times as per safety requirement. Here the tension is applied at the lower station. The large dia. return sheave is fitted on a tension trolley. Through tension sheaves weight is suspended to apply the tension.

Ropeway travel basically consists of

Stopping of the system at station. De boarding Slow speed movement at station around bull wheel Boarding Uniform acceleration Uniform travel by fixed speed of the system (here it is 0 – 3.0 m/sec) Uniform de acceleration Uniform movement before station entry Stop again 21

It can be seen that the project shows negative cash flow and loss after 10 years of operation.

Considering the financial viability of the project, to & fro ticket fare of Rs 150 has been considered per person per round trip for passenger ropeway.

It is estimated that the proposed ropeway system will gain more popularity over a period of time and a minimum tourist growth of

The proposed tariff per person per round is for the current year and the base year for increase in the tariff is 2017(current year). Tariff for foreign tourist would be five times of tariff charged by Indian tourists\pilgrims. The estimated revenues for the Project for the first 10 years of operation (including the period of construction) considering the various traffic volume options is indicated. It can be seen that after 10 years of operation including construction period shows negative cash flow and loss after considering repayment of loan with interest in 10 years including the construction period.

Revenue for ropeway are on the basis of 5% traffic inflation and 10 % rise in ropeway tariff annually.
