Manakamana Cable Car Project (Kurintar, Chitwan)
Manakamana Cable Car is the only one cable car in the country. For a country like Nepal where construction of roads is very expensive, the Cable Car can be a great relief and time saver.
This cable car carries hundreds of devotees and religious tourists to the famous temple of Manakamana in Gorkha district each year. The 3 km Cable Car Project was constructed under strict supervision of Dopple Maier of Austria. The most challenging part of the construction was transportation of assembled tower by helicopter and erecting them directly on the foundation. This method was used for the first time in Nepal and was highly successful. Thirteen towers were erected within 6 hours.
