KARACHI: Chairlift at Safari

Published March 9, 2006

KARACHI, March 8: City Nazim Mustafa Kamal inaugurated the first-ever chairlift facility at Safari Park on Wednesday. Some 20 chairs have been installed to carry 40 people on a two-kilometre trip in 20 minutes and touch an apogee of 120feet over the lake. The thrilling part of the trip is the 300-feet-deep man-made ditch with almost perpendicular sandstone walls guarding the sub-terrain mini-river flowing through huge pipes spanning six feet in diameter. The charges are Rs90 per person for the trip.—APP
