Shakthi temple on hill top
You can walk or use rope way to reach this hill top Devi Mata temple. Going in the rope way, one can have a beautiful view of the river Ganga.As we had combined tickets for Chandi Devi and Mansa Devi temple, we could go on rope car fast bye pasing the crowd. Also we took BIP darshan tickets for Devi darshan This Mata is considered very powerful.

Super crowded when we visited the temple..
Well, the temple was very crowded! But we were able to use the premium tickets from the Chandi Devi temple to get into the cable car without any wait. This was a real time saver. Once we went up, there were very long lines for the darshan(atleast1.5hours wait we were told). Therefore, we bought a special darshan ticket that took us hardly 5mnts, or so. What I'm trying to say here is that there are options if you are pressed for time or have elderly people visiting the temple. The cable car services are usually preferred by a majority of people visiting the temple. It carries the pilgrims directly from the lower station to the temple. It is convenient and you get great views of the city, river and the surrounding areas.

Too much climb for too little
Mansa Devi is so overcrowded with pilgrims that I would tell tourists to not bother. When I arrived at the ropeway, there is a signage saying there is a 1-hour waiting time and the number of crowd in the queue seems to confirm it, so I decided to take the 30-40 minute hike up into the temple. The temple itself has limited things to do and some sections have long queues of pilgrims with some trying to annoyingly cut queues all the time, so overall it felt like too much effort needed to get too little experience.

Jai Mata Di
Queues could be long, especially during festival seasons so ensure you have sufficient time. We had to wait for almost 1.5 hours for cable car / gondola service. There was a long queue for the darshan, and it could get super crowded so take care of small kids and your belongings. Return via cable car / gondola could also be a long wait so you can walk down.

Trip with Divine Blessing
The heart leads the mind, and the soul is satisfied - this place is a religious attraction with good cable car to take us to the temple. The pooja items are available and enough time for darshan and a quick view of this beautifully perched temple.
