The cable car is a popular feature of the Timber Trail private resort, about 35 kilometres from Chandigarh on the route to Kasauli and Shimla.
Some six-seven elderly tourists have been stuck mid-air in a cable car for more than an hour and a half in Himachal Pradesh's Parwanoo. What has further complicated the rescue operations is that they are hesitant to use the cables and ropeways to get out, complaining that they have weak knees and other ailments.

The stuck tourists have released a video detailing why it is worse for them.
"I am a diabetes and a kidney patient. They are saying the same thing again and again - that we will be rescued using the ropeway. We are not fit to be taken out like this," said an elderly man.
