Key Applications of Modern Ropeway Systems in Bhutan
Bhutan isn’t like other countries. Our mountains and commitment to keeping things sustainable mean we need infrastructure that actually works with nature. That’s where ropeway systems come in. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and already making a real difference across different sectors in Bhutan.
Cost-Effective Operations
Swift Implementation
Ropeways provide accelerated project completion. The installation of the cable car systems cuts down the time taken for traditional development in such difficult Himalayan terrain from months rather than years or even decades. This effectively establishes instant connections to villages and sacred sites that were previously unreachable. This immediately raises the living standards of the mountain communities.
Protecting Our Environment
Cutting roads through mountains is rough on the ecosystem. You’re clearing forests, soil starts washing away, and animals can’t move around like they used to. Ropeways are different. They work with the terrain instead of fighting it, especially in these tricky Himalayan slopes. Plus, they barely pollute compared to regular roads full of vehicles, which fits perfectly with our goal of staying carbon-negative.
All-Weather Functionality
Bhutan’s weather is brutal on transportation. Monsoon rains from June to September ruin roads. Winter cold makes mountain passes dangerous or totally impassable. But aerial ropeways keep running whether it’s raining heavily, snowing, or freezing temperatures. When roads are damaged or blocked, ropeways still operate reliably. In short, ropeways are improving Bhutan’s economic durability and social interconnection.
Unique Advantages
Eases Urban Congestion
Green Transport
These systems, which are operated by electricity, help Bhutan reach its carbon-negative goals with little impact on the environment.
Cost-Effective Infrastructure
Mountain roads require more land and materials than ropeways.
Expands Tourism
The kingdom’s attractions are easily and quickly accessible as the towns are joined with dzongs, monasteries, and scenic spots.
Comprehensive Ropeway Solutions by M & M Ropeways for Bhutan
M & M Ropeways specializes in a dual approach: providing passenger Ropeways for tourists and heavy-duty material handling systems for industrial applications. This makes sure that there are a lot of ways to connect across Bhutan’s amazing landscape.
01
Passenger Ropeways/Cable Cars/Gondolas
People use ropeways a lot in cities and tourist areas in the mountains where other forms of transportation don’t work. Cable cars get around problems with geography and the environment, and they also help reduce traffic and pollution. M & M Ropeways delivers world-class passenger transport systems and aims to bring European engineering to Bhutan’s tough topography. Our passenger Ropeway systems combine both technology and precision to deliver durable projects.
02
Material Ropeways & Cable Cranes
Applications: Transport of materials for hydropower projects, dam construction, the mining industry, mountain rural development and emergency supply to disaster-stricken areas.
Material Ropeways & Cable Cranes
M & M Ropeways specialises in heavy-duty material transport systems critical for Bhutan’s infrastructure development. We are considered to be the best cargo Ropeway manufacturers because our systems move construction materials, equipment, and bulk goods where conventional transport fails. Our regular systems transfer 500 – 3000 kg in one go, while heavy-duty ones can handle 10,000 kg or more for massive construction sites. These are used for the transportation of materials for hydropower projects, dam construction, the mining industry, mountain rural development, and emergency supplies to disaster-stricken areas.

03
Conveyors
We deliver advanced “Sandwich Belt High-Angle” conveyor systems engineered specifically for Bhutan’s rugged terrain. These conveyors enable continuous material transport across steep quarry sites and mining operations throughout the Himalayan Kingdom. Moreover, through our collaboration with “Dos Santos International USA,” we bring world-class conveyor technology to Bhutan’s industrial sector. Our systems are built for the reliability that Bhutan’s remote projects demand, where equipment failures can halt operations and cause significant financial setbacks.

Winches
In the world of heavy-duty lifting as well as pulling systems, strength, reliability, and safety are imperative. As one of the trusted Winch manufacturers in Nepal, M & M Ropeways offers top-tier engineered solutions for industries such as Construction, Mining and Infrastructure, Forestry Cableways and heavy-duty Cable Cranes used in Hydropower and Dam construction. When fitted with a grooved pulley or a capstan ring, the Winch can be used as a circular drive wheel for a Material Handling Ropeway as well.
With decades of experience, M & M Ropeways is proud to be a top Winch supplier in Nepal and is trusted by several companies nationwide as well as across global markets. We provide a wide range of quality Winches, including lightweight, mobile, robust, safe, high-performance and with long operating life. The sled runners on some of our Winches give it all-terrain mobility and are also ideally suited as a mounting winch. Loads can thus be drawn, lifted, transported up the mountainside and lowered. The modular construction means that our Winches can be adapted to the individual requirements of each customer.
Winches
M&M Ropeways designs robust winch systems personalized for Bhutan’s unique mountainous landscape. Our equipment works in challenging high-altitude spots where most machinery struggles. Moreover, they’re perfect for construction and mining in hard-to-access areas. Our winches deliver consistent performance where traditional transport methods fall short. These are especially built to withstand Bhutan’s varied climate conditions.

Regulatory & Approval Procedure in Bhutan: A Quick Guide
The planning and execution of a Ropeway system in Bhutan requires strict regulatory compliance for ensuring environmental protection and safety, as well as technical compliance.
A short review of certain important points in the approval process:
Land and Property Clearances
The first and utmost required step is the assignment of land rights. Similarly, to acquire tower locations and terminal sites, land acquisition permits from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests or the respective local authority must be secured.
Environmental Compliance
The project needs to be environmentally compliant since Bhutan holds sustainability in high regard. In this regard, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) shall be conducted to include aspects of soil erosion, watershed guards, ecological guards, and so on.
Technical Approvals
Consisting of the Department of Roads and the Ministry of Works and Human Settlement, the entities will ensure that the Ropeway systems are in conformity with the engineering norms laid down in Bhutan, specifically for earthquake resistance and safety against adverse weather conditions.
Tourism & Transport Licenses
