Things To Do

Adventures above the clouds

01 / TECHNOLOGY

The Doppelmayr Engineering Edge

On November 24, 1998, the first-ever commercial cable car service in Nepal was launched, revolutionizing transportation in the region. The installation of this advanced system was entrusted to the renowned Doppelmayr Group, celebrated for their exceptional efficiency and performance in ropeway technology. Benefiting from this high-caliber infrastructure, Manakamana Darshan has been serving over a million pilgrims annually, offering them a remarkable travel experience.

In September 2024, 26 years after its operation began, the system received a major technological upgrade with Doppelmayr’s latest D-Connect technology. The modernization included the complete replacement of the 6,000-meter main haulage rope, communication cables, and gondola grips, ensuring improved efficiency, safety, and operational performance.

02 / COMMUNITY

Crisis Relief & Sustainable Giving

Manakamana Darshan is dedicated not only to providing regular rides to pilgrims but also to making a meaningful impact in our community. In the wake of the 2015 earthquake, we actively contributed to the relief and rebuilding efforts in Manakamana village by facilitating the transportation of essential supplies—dry food, drinking water, tarpaulins, rice, and medicine through the Laxman Babu Memorial Trust.

Furthermore, we are committed to local community development by allocating 2% of our cable car ticket sales to drive positive change in the areas we serve.
