GEYZING, : Tourism minister Tshering T. Bhutia today inspected the ongoing Singshore Bridge glass-deck skywalk project near Uttarey in Gyalshing district.

The tourism infrastructure project is being developed with support from the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) under PM-DevINE scheme.

It aims to transform the iconic Singshore Bridge, located between Dentam and Uttarey, into a major tourist and adventure destination featuring a transparent glass-floored skywalk and bungee jumping facilities.

During the inspection, minister Bhutia reviewed the progress of the project and directed the executing agency to expedite the work while ensuring adherence to prescribed quality standards. He assured all possible support from the department for the timely and quality completion of the project.

The transformation of Singshore Bridge into a glass-deck skywalk is expected to further strengthen Sikkim’s tourism infrastructure by providing visitors with panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan landscape and introducing a major new adventure-tourism attraction in the State.
