Start from the bazaar just north of the museum and climb the stone stairway of about 1,500 steps to Gorkha Durbar, which Nepal Traveller gives as 30 to 45 minutes and another guide as about 45 minutes with rest stops. On our map the round trip is 2.3 km with about 270 m of climbing. Carry water, since nothing is sold at the top. In the compound, look in at the Kalika temple (usually closed to non-Hindus), the Gorakhnath shrine and cave, and the viewpoints for Manaslu, Himalchuli and Annapurna. Come down to the Tallo Durbar museum, which charges NPR 100, if it is open.

Eşleşmeler iki trekkingci de kabul edene kadar gizli kalır ve hizmet ücretsizdir. Orta seviye fiyatlarla lisanslı bir rehber, dört trekkingci paylaştığında 2 günde kişi başı yaklaşık 19 USD tutar; tek başına giden bir trekkingci için bu tutar 75 USD’dir. En iyi sezonlar: Oct–Dec, Mar–Apr. Bunun gibi açık rotalarda lisanslı rehber zorunlu tutulmaz (19 Ekim 2026’da kontrol edildi): Khumbu belediyesi Nepal Turizm Kurulu’nun Nisan 2023 kuralının dışında kaldı ve günübirlik yürüyüşler için rehber gerekmez; yine de rehber şiddetle önerilir, bu yüzden acentenle teyit et. Bu rota için açık geziler aşağıda; başlangıç ayı, grup büyüklüğü ve kalan yerlerle birlikte listelenir. Son doğrulama: 19 Ekim 2026. Kaynaklar: Nepal Turizm Kurulu, DNPWC, Göç İdaresi.

The Gorkha Durbar and Manakamana walk is a two-day plan around the hill town of Gorkha: the 1,500-step stairway from the bazaar to the hilltop palace where Prithvi Narayan Shah was born, and the pilgrim climb from Anbu Khaireni to Manakamana temple on Kafakdada hill (about 1,300 m). On our map the first day is 2.3 km with about 270 m of climbing and the second is 6.8 km with about 1,030 m of climbing, mostly on a track beside the cable car line. Guides give 30 to 45 minutes up to the palace and about 3 to 4 hours up to the temple, and the cable car is the way down. No permit, flight or altitude is involved, the walks suit families and anyone resting between bigger treks, and October to December and March to April are best.
What the walk is like
Day one is a short, steep morning on stone steps from Gorkha bazaar to the palace compound, with the Kalika temple, the Gorakhnath cave shrine and wide views of Manaslu, Himalchuli and Annapurna on a clear day. Day two is a drive to Anbu Khaireni on the Prithvi Highway and a long climb in the open on stone steps and a track to Manakamana, where pilgrims queue at the Bhagwati shrine. You can come down on foot to Kurintar or take the cable car, which opened in 1998.
Day by day
Day one: 2.3 km, 1.5 to 2 hours round trip with time at the temples, plus the Gorkha Museum in the lower palace if it is open. Day two: 6.8 km up, 3 to 4 hours, then the cable car or the steps down.
Getting there and away
Buses from Kathmandu take about 6 hours to Gorkha, or a tourist bus to Anbu Khaireni takes 3.5 hours and a local bus about 1 hour more. From Pokhara it is about 4 hours. Gorkha is also an easy overnight between Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Permits, guides and costs
No trekking permit or TIMS card is needed, and the walks lie outside any national park, conservation area or restricted area, so no guide is required; one is optional. Gorkha Durbar is free at present according to one guide, the museum charges NPR 100, and the cable car fare is not listed in our sources, so see the cost section for ranges.
Season and safety
October to December has the clearest views. Heat is the main hazard on the Manakamana climb, and worn stone steps are uneven and slippery in the monsoon. See our guide rule page for the rule in full.

Take an early bus or taxi to Anbu Khaireni on the Prithvi Highway and start up the mapped track beside the cable car line.

A 2007 report describes full sun, stony steps and donkeys carrying loads. At 1,300 m the two-tier Bhagwati temple has views over the Trishuli and Marsyangdi valleys. Ride the cable car down, or walk down to Kurintar beside its line, and take a bus back to Gorkha, Pokhara or Kathmandu.
