Overview

The Manakamana Cable Car is one of the most famous cable car rides in Nepal. It takes visitors from the base station at Kurintar to the Manakamana Temple, which is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati. This cable car ride provides a convenient and scenic alternative to the traditional uphill trek.

The cable car stretches about 2.8 kilometers and climbs approximately 1,300 meters, passing through lush forests and hills along the way. The ride is smooth, safe, and enjoyable, making it suitable for people of all ages, including children and elderly visitors. From the cable car cabins, passengers can enjoy stunning views of the green hills, valleys, and terraced farmlands. On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas can also be seen, providing an unforgettable sightseeing experience.

At the hilltop, visitors reach the Manakamana Temple, which is a major spiritual destination. Devotees come to offer prayers and seek blessings, while tourists can explore the temple premises, enjoy the view, and experience the cultural significance of the site. The ride is fully managed and safe, with trained staff ensuring smooth operations. Each cabin is equipped with safety features, and the entire journey is monitored to guarantee a secure experience for everyone.

We at Mountain Buddha Company provide the Manakamana Cable Car ride, assisting with ticketing, guidance, and ensuring visitors have a comfortable, safe, and memorable experience from the base to the temple and back.
