EXPLORE THE SOUL OF Manokamna
Manokamna – The Wish-Fulfilling Temple of Nepal
Manokamna Temple, perched atop a hill at 1,302 metres in the Gorkha district of Nepal, is one of the most sacred Hindu temples dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati. Devotees believe that the Goddess fulfils all sincere wishes (Manokamna = "wish of the heart").
The highlight of visiting Manokamna is the thrilling cable car ride — Nepal's first and most scenic ropeway, covering 2.8 km over lush valleys and terraced hillsides with stunning Himalayan views. The 10-minute ride itself is worth the journey.
Our Manokamna tour package from Gorakhpur can be perfectly combined with Kathmandu and Pokhara trips, making it an essential spiritual pitstop. As the trusted Nepal tour operator in Gorakhpur, Tirupati Balaji handles every detail for a safe and fulfilling temple visit.
