Dear Baral
This was the first time I booked directly through the WEB , and I thought it's a little risky, especially when I had to send my money to Katmandu and I wend to Delhi .
Goddess Manakamana has since long the
reputation as " The wish fulfilling goddess". Thousands
of devotees visit the shrine with a strong belief that
the goddess will fulfill their wishes.
The shrine is located
6 kilometers north of Mugling on the Kathmandu-Pokhara
Highway. This is situated on a prominent ridge (1302m)
overlooking the river valleys of Trishuli to the south
and Marshyangdi to the west. From here one can see deep
valleys, terraced fields and the snow range of Manaslu-Himalchuli
and the Annapurna Himal. The spectacular views are truly
worth the trip.
The cable cars cover the 2.8-km stretch from Sheres along the highway right up
to the temple in less than 10 minutes. Each car has capacity of 6 passengers.
Before the construction of the cable car line, it was possible to reach the temple
by 4-5 hours steep hiking.
The cable car trip, not only brings to the temple, but offers spectacular views
of Trishuli River Valley and stunning views of Himalayas towards north.
While you are on the way to Chitwan or Pokhra or on return, you can stop in Kurintar
and spare one hour for this breathtaking opportunity.
