My sister told me about the temple MANAKAMANA and its stories.listning to her stories, I planned to go there as nobody was interested so, I went alone on Saturday (7th June 2014) as it was holiday from my work. I took a micro from here to KURINTAR (a place where the cable car is established) and it took me about three hours to reach . I jumped off the micro and it was raining like hell, went to a small shop asked for plastic and kept my camera ,phone & earphone inside it .I went down the hill asked for the tickets ( it cost rs 499 per person and rs 66 for tax )and the worst part came. I had to wait on queue to get on cable car (my turn was at 4998 ) and waited almost 5 hours. It was raining, it was hot & people were fighting for their places. I was waiting on queue hungry as I had only eaten noodles (wai wai )
After 5 hours of struggle in queue my turn came,got inside with 5 strangers.As i am afraid of heights, they were laughing at me looking at my afraid face . That moment was awkward when a small boy said to me "yo dai ta kati daraudo raicha hehe ". I just smiled back to all of them .Than I was finally out relief from cable car. I went to the temple prayed for while & took some photos .
I was returning down to cable car many guys asked me for lunch and I did ignored them . Then i saw a guy who could rap very fast telling about the food on the menu, that attracted me and I eat my late lunch there. i heard that there was queue to go down the hill too,so ran fast and got on the queue . Just after I reached there about 500 people came behind me on line . I was on line almost an hour & my turn came to go down .Again afraid of those heights the people around were laughing but I ignored them .Caught a micro a came back home reached finally at 9 pm .
The tour was hectic and was awesome and new experience to travel alone
ps. Don't go to Manakamana at Saturdays.
