WORLD's LONGEST CABLE CAR LINE IN ARMENIA

On 23 October 2010 Guinness World Records longest cableway in Armenia, the 5.7km (3.5 miles) engineering feat spans a spectacular Vorotan River Gorge to the country's ancient Tatev monastery. The link will allow year-round access to Armenia's ninth-century Tatev monastery complex, one of the country's most important religious centres and a major tourist attraction. The cable car travels at a speed of 37km (23 miles ) per hour and a one-way journey takes 11 minutes. At its highest point over the gorge, the car travels 320 metres (1,056 feet) above ground level. It has two cabins, each capable of carrying up to 25 passengers.
