Chitwan is a national park south west of kathmandu and about 8 hours on the bus. Buses are easier and cheap enough to catch from Thamel.. though a little early in the morning for my tastes. Chitwan has everything a budding safari-ist could hope for. There are lots of lodges to suit every taste and budget. When you arrive by bus you will be hounded by them all asking for your business and it is easy to haggle if you want the cheapest deal, alternatively you can book in advance in kathmandu. The standard package will bring you rhino spotting by elephant ride through the jungle, crocodile spotting by dug out canoe, bird watching, elephant sanctury breeding programme and a jungle walk. You can book a few nights in a woodern hut on stilts and camp out for the chance to spot tigers at night! It is beautiful and peaceful and highly relaxing, a definate must for anyone spending time in this magnificant land.

The various parks scattered around the country offer a unique opportunity to view a variety of animals from close quarters. Several resort that boast comfortable accommodation and delectable cuisine dot the parks. Manned by trained personnel they provide various wildlife activities like safaris on elephant backs, walks thorough the jungle, canoe trips that take you deep into the jungle, beyond the beaten tracks. The anticipation of encountering a rhino or a tiger face to face or listening to the sights and sounds of the jungle gives you a high beyond comprehension. Apart from animals the culture and lifestyle of the Tharus, the local indigenous people of the terai, offer a unique cultural experience.

Manakamana is the name of a Hindu Goddess. It is believed that the Goddess fulfils the wishes of the people. The term ‘mana’ means the ‘heart’ or ‘soul’ and ‘kamana’ means the ‘wish’.

The most popular temple of Manakamana is in Gorkha. The others are in various places like Tumlingtar. It is said that a King of Gorkha was blessed by the goddess to get victory over small kingdoms and make a big Gorkha. Manakamana of Tumlingtar is a popular place for a specific fair called Ekadashi. The temple was initially inaccessible and one had to ride on horseback for 2–3 days. Now it is easily accessible by Cable Car.

The queen of Ram Shah, the king of Gorkha born in 1614 AD, was a goddess known to only her devotee, Lakhan Thapa. One day the king saw his queen in the form of a goddess. He told about it to the queen and he died instantly, in 1636 AD. The queen committed Sati (commit cremation with the husband's pyre as per custom of that time). Lakhan Thapa lamented on her Sati.The queen consoled him to reappear again. Six months later, a farmer hit a stone while ploughing his field. Blood and milk came out from the stone. Lakhan Thapa came to know the news. He worshipped the place with 'tantric' rituals. The flow of blood and milk ceased. The site became the foundation of the present-day shrine- Manakamana Temple. Manakamana meaning wishes fulfilling goddess. The current pujari, Priest, is the 17th generation descendant of Lakhan Thapa.
