OVERVIEW

Shivadip Travels offers a well-planned Kathmandu to Pokhara drop service with a short visit to Manakamana Temple, designed for travelers who want to combine long-distance travel with a meaningful cultural experience.

Instead of a direct transfer, this service allows you to enjoy a 2-hour stop at Manakamana, one of Nepal’s most famous religious destinations. Located on a hilltop, the temple is dedicated to the goddess believed to fulfill wishes, and is reached via the popular Manakamana Cable Car.

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu or Tribhuvan International Airport. After meeting your professional driver, you will travel comfortably toward Kurintar, the cable car station point. From here, you will take the cable car ride up to Manakamana, enjoying beautiful views of the Trishuli River and surrounding hills.

At the top, you will have approximately 2 hours to visit Manakamana Temple, explore the surroundings, and experience the peaceful spiritual atmosphere.

After completing the visit, you will return via cable car and continue your journey toward Pokhara, enjoying scenic highway views, rivers, hills, and countryside landscapes along the way.

This is a private point-to-point transfer with a planned stop, making it ideal for travelers who want both convenience and a cultural experience in a single journey.
