Manakamana Temple
From the tiny hamlet of Cheres (6km before Mugling), an Austrian-engineered cable car soars up an almost impossibly steep hillside to the ancient Manakamana Temple, one of the most important temples in the Middle Hills. Hindus believe that the goddess Bhagwati, an incarnation of Parvati, has the power to grant wishes, and newlyweds flock here to pray for male children.

Gorkha Durbar
Regarded by many as the crowning glory of Newari architecture, Gorkha Durbar is a fort, a palace and a temple all in one. This magnificent architectural confection is perched high above Gorkha on a knife-edge ridge, with superb views over the Trisuli Valley and glimpses north to the soaring peaks of the Annapurna and Ganesh Himalaya.

Gorkha Museum
The Gorkha Museum, housed inside the Tallo Durbar, is a Newari-style palace built in 1835. Exhibits are limited, but it’s interesting to see the finely carved timbers up close. The camera fee, on the other hand, is daylight robbery.
