Manakamana Temple at Lele, Southern Lalitpur

Manakamana Temple at Lele

Many of us are not aware of the existence of Manakamana Temple in Lele VDC of southern Lalitpur. It is about 16 KM away from the Lagankhel bus park.

A local, Santa Bahadur Nagarkoti dreamed about Manakamana Devi of Gorkha and built the Manakamana Temple. They have procedurally brought the holy watar (Jal) from Manakamana of Gorkha and established the temple.

Lele VDC is a hilly region of Lalitpur and gateway to many rural southern villages of Lalitpur such as Bhardeu, Nallu, Chaughare and Gotikhel. The Manakamana Temple and surrounding is now a days getting popular as a Picnic spot and the overall region has been popular for many hiking / biking routes to Phulchowki, Badikhel, Godavari etc.

Manakamana Temple can be reached by taking local bus from Lagankhel, which will take around 1.5 hours to reach there. If you have your own private vehicle, it will take around 30 minutes to reach there from Lagankhel.
