Maula Kalika Temple, Hindu temple on Maula Hill, Gaindakot, Nepal.

The temple stands at 561 meters above sea level, offering views of the Narayani River, Chitwan Valley, and Mount Manaslu from its hilltop location.

The King of Palpa established a symbolic site named Maula during the 16th century, leading to the construction of the temple dedicated to goddess Kalika.

Dedicated to goddess Durga, also known as Kali or Kalika, the temple receives numerous devotees who seek blessings and fulfill their spiritual aspirations.

Visitors can reach the temple through a 2000-meter hiking trail from Gaindakot, which takes approximately two hours to complete via sloping and curved stairs.

The temple structure, built in the early 1990s, features an automated water supply system and marble boards displaying names of significant donors.
