Manakamana Temple, Hindu temple in Gorkha District, Nepal
The Manakamana Temple stands at 1,302 meters elevation, offering views of the Annapurna mountains and Manaslu peaks through its traditional Nepalese architecture.
King Ram Shah of the Gorkha Kingdom established this sacred temple in the 17th century, making it a significant pilgrimage destination for Hindus across Nepal.
