My tour was lovely. It was great to...
<p>My tour was lovely. It was great to get out in the country. My guide Bishal, was well spoken and very knowledgeable. However, the photo of the temple is misleading. There is no top to the temple, those two roofs fell down in the earthquake, so all you see of the temple is a small insides. There is an hour long line to get in, but the priest and his blessing is really cool. The traffic getting in and out of town is slow.</p>
Response from the operator: We thank you for choosing us. - It was a pleasure, Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to serve you.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manakamana Pilgrimage with Cable Car Ride Day Trip from Kathmandu start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
