    Mahepi Mandir lies at Mahepi, about 500m east from Balaju Bridge, Kathmandu is famous for worshipping goodness, site seeing, morning & evening walk. Many people came here for worshipping goodness, number of people/ tourist are increasing at morning and evening time. As it is located at heigh place so we can also see Kathmandu view from here. I love this place as i visited I found quite peaceful environment with birds creeping sound and peaceful sounds of winds which makes me more joyful and fresh. So, I requested all to visit this place. #MahepiMandir #Kathmandu #Nepal

    It's situated in the small hill top next to balaju Bridge. The forest area has been depleted so much. The area still reverberates very high level of spritual aura. It's one of the major goddesses worshipped by newar and hindu communities. Jai mheppi ajima!

    It's a good place for mental relaxing , on the other side it's a temple it gives you peace and there is also little place for kids playing stuff. It's quite good for morning exercise as well as we can do parafeet training.

    Revered place in the middle of the city. Very near to Balaju Chowk, on the bank of Bishnumati river.

  • 5/5 Chris W. 1 year ago on Google
    Soothing, peaceful place – perfect for escaping Kathmandu's noise and dust, with a little chanting, prayer and circumambulation. Plenty of seats to rest on at the summit, after the short, steep climb up, and the view is well worth the effort – especially on a clear day!

    The temple atop the hill is truly beautiful, and the surroundings are well-kept. To reach the summit, there are two stairways: one is a short but steep ascent, while the other is longer yet easier to climb. Inside the temple, you'll find idols of various Hindu gods, including Gautam Buddha and Narayan. Furthermore, the area provides designated spots for small events such as picnics and weddings, making it a splendid place for a relaxing evening stroll.
