The plan was made for the New Year Celebration with 9 frens from IOE BCT 066 namely @Me, @Vikram(ulf, Dabang), @Anish,@Roshan Manandhar, @ Roshan Giri, @Sharad, @Yugesh,@Suresh,@Sarit(Bairagi Kaila). It was Jan 1 2011 when the trip for manakamana started from Sharad House(After lost in Satdobato area for abt 20 minutes 
). The time was already 9:00 am when we leaved ktm. The plan was 1 night stand at Manakana going trek from Abu Khaireni and visiting Gorkha Durbar the next day and return to ktm bu things didn’t went as planned.
After moving from Kathmandu on bus to Abu Khaireni, we reached the khairaini at around 1:00 pm and had dinner at Santi Hotel. The food was awesome and delicious there. Then the walk for Manakamana started from the Suspension bridge. The walk from bridge to the Manakamana was difficult one and after crossing the hill, we got relief from the walking (passed across by the Orange trees). The way became little easier after tiresome walk to hill. Finally we made it to the Manakamana ( a great victory feeling). The lodge at Manakamana were too costly ranging from 800(with attached toilet,hot shower,color television) to 100 per room. After roaming there for few minutes we got the room near Manakamana Temple. The cost for room was 400 for 2 rooms. We enjoyed the stay there.
