About This Tour
Highlights Manakamana Temple Cable Car Panoramic Views Local People Local Food Legend of Manakamana Temple, where the Manakamana Goddess dates back to the reign of the Gorkha king Ram Shah during the 17th century. It is believed that his queen possessed divine powers, which only her devotee Lakhan Thapa knew about. One day, the king witnessed his queen in Goddess incarnation, and Lakhan Thapa in the form of a lion. Upon mentioning the revelation to his queen, a mysterious death befell the king. As per the custom of that time, the queen committed SATI (ritual immolation) on her husband’s funeral pyre. The service is from kurintar, just to Manakamana temple. The cable car rides over the distance of 2.8 kilometers in 10 minutes about. The cable car usually operates during the daytime from 9 am to 5 pm and stops during lunch break from 12 noon to half past one.
