Manakamana is one of the most popular temples in Nepal. It is the sacred place of the Hindu Goddess Bhagavati. Cable car is the easiest way to reach the temple. The bottom station of the cable car is at Kurintar and the top station is at Manakamana. Overall it was nice experience visiting this place.
