The Manakamana Temple lies 12 km south of historic town Gorkha and located on a prominent ridge (1302m) overlooking the river valleys of Trisuli (south) and Marshyandi (west). The unique location of the place is dramatized during winter when the ridge appears as island above the sea of morning mist. People believe the Goddess here, fulfils the wishes of her devotees, thus she is regarded as Manakmana, the wish fulfilling deity. Before the cable car was established in Kurnitar, millions of pilgrims used to do the long arduous trek up to the hilltop and most of them still do. From the cable car station in Kurintar, you will reach to Manankamana within 10 minutes or less.
