Founded by the late Laxman Babu Shrestha, the Chitawon Co-E Group is a pioneering company in the tourism and service industry. As part of its ventures, they established Mankamana Darshan (P) Ltd. The company has brought about a significant transformation in the mode of transportation to the revered Manakamana Temple, a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site located atop a hill in Gorkha.
The Manakamana Cable Car by Chitawon Co-E Group has revolutionized travel to the temple, making it easily accessible to the general public. Previously, reaching the hilltop temple was challenging, but now people can conveniently travel from Cheres, Icchakamana Rural Municipality in Chitwan. This benefits pilgrims and visitors, providing greater ease and convenience to experience the temple’s spiritual significance.
