Manakamana
 
 
The famous temple of Manakamana is also situated in Gorkha district. A cable car travels Kuringtar over the hills which is along side the Prithivi Highway and takes you to the famous temple of Hindu Goddess Manakamana. The temple was built nearly 250 years ago during the reign of Late King Rajendra Bir Bikram Shah and the area offers opportunities to make some side trips to nearby villages and pristine forests that are relatively unexplored.
 
The temple can also be reached via the small town of Abu Khaireni at the point along Prithivi Highway, past bustling bazaar of Mugling. But for that the travelers are required to trek for three to four hours, which is an extremely worthwhile experience as you pass through interesting villages overlooking the Marshyangdi River.
