Manakamana is a holy site of Hindu Pilgrimage. Pilgrims of different
places including India come in the thousands to visit and pay homage
to goddess Manakamana. It is believed by the locals that she fulfills
our wishes if we pray her by heart. So she is called 'Manakamana" which
means 'wish of heart'.
There is only one cable car service in Nepal is Manakamana Cable Car.
We can reach the temple of Manakamana by this car. Manakamana Temple
is just away three hours from Kathmandu by drive. This is a holy place
where hundreds of goats and chickens are sacrificed every day. The cars
go straight up to the hilltop and comedown so beautifully which a wonderful
experience.
