Drive to Kurintar and cable car ascent
Depart Kathmandu at 7:00 AM for the 3-hour drive to Kurintar on the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway. Board the Austrian-engineered cable car for a 10-minute ride soaring above the Trishuli River gorge. The views of the Himalayan foothills and terraced farmland are spectacular. Arrive at the hilltop and walk the short path to the temple.

Goddess darshan and puja ceremony
Join the line of devotees for darshan of the Goddess Manakamana, adorned with gold jewelry and red vermillion. Participate in a special puja ceremony with a Brahmin priest. Offer flowers, coconut, and incense while making your heartfelt wish. The priest ties a sacred thread on your wrist as a blessing. The temple courtyard offers panoramic views of the Manaslu and Annapurna ranges on clear days.

Descent and riverside lunch
After temple visits, ride the cable car back down. Enjoy a traditional Nepali lunch at a riverside resort overlooking the Trishuli, famous for white-water rafting. Watch rafters navigate the rapids below. Optional: try river rafting on gentle sections, or simply relax before the return drive to Kathmandu.
