The Manakamana Darshan Package is a spiritually enriching one-day pilgrimage to the famous Manakamana Temple, located in the Gorkha district of Nepal. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, believed to fulfill the heartfelt wishes of her devotees. The tour is especially popular among Hindu pilgrims and those seeking divine blessings, as well as travelers looking for scenic experiences via the Manakamana Cable Car.
Starting from Kathmandu, the journey takes approximately 3.5 hours by private vehicle to reach the cable car station in Kurintar. From here, a breathtaking 10-minute cable car ride over the Trishuli River and lush hills takes you to the hilltop where the temple is located. The cable car offers panoramic views of green valleys, dense forests, and distant Himalayan peaks—making it a delightful ride even for nature lovers.
Once at the temple, travelers can participate in traditional puja rituals, offer flowers and coconuts, and soak in the spiritual ambiance. The surrounding area also offers local eateries and traditional Nepali snacks, enhancing your cultural experience.
Our Manakamana Darshan Package includes comfortable round-trip transportation from Kathmandu, a round-trip cable car ticket, and assistance for temple rituals. Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, this day trip is well-organized and time-efficient, allowing you to return to Kathmandu by evening.
This tour is perfect for spiritual seekers, religious pilgrims, and culturally curious travelers. It’s also ideal for those who wish to escape the city and witness the natural beauty and spiritual charm of rural Nepal in a short amount of time.

A Truly Divine Experience!
I recently booked the Manakamana Darshan Package through NepalTourPackage.com, and it was one of the most spiritually uplifting journeys I’ve had. The entire trip—from the comfortable drive from Kathmandu to the thrilling cable car ride—was perfectly arranged. The view of the Trishuli River below and the majestic Himalayan peaks in the distance was simply breathtaking.
The visit to the Manakamana Temple was serene and soul-touching. I had enough time for darshan and prayers without any rush, and our guide was informative and very respectful of our spiritual beliefs. The arrangements for meals and rest breaks were also thoughtful and convenient.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and sacred experience in Nepal. Will definitely return with my family again!
