Chandragiri Hills Day Tour is a relaxing sightseeing tour package that takes you to one of the highest points in Kathmandu Valley, Chandragiri Hills. Chandragiri Hills is a beautiful hill station situated on the southwestern hill ridge of the Kathmandu Valley. The top of the hill features Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Chandragiri Hills is connected to the civilization below via Cable Car.
The 15-minute Cable Car ride from the bottom station at Thankot to the top station at Chandragiri Hills observes almost 1000 meters of elevation gain. One can definitely feel the drop in temperature after getting out of the cabin to the station platform. The cable car ride itself is an amazing experience that stretches 2.4 km over a verdant forest on the steep slopes of Chandragiri Hills. As the Chandragiri Hills Cable Car lift begins to gain elevation, the Kathmandu Valley starts to reveal its beauty. As you start to sink deeper and deeper into the natural beauty of Chandragiri Hills, the view of Kathmandu Valley will become ever so conspicuous and mesmerizing.
Besides visiting the sacred Bhaleshwor Temple, tourers also get an opportunity to relish the beautiful view of the surrounding landscape from Chandragiri Hills top, Kathmandu Valley, and mountain panorama. On a day with clear open skies, one can get a mesmerizing view of the mountain panorama, which subsumes peaks like Mt Everest, Gauri Shankar, Annapurna, Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu making it one of the fewest places inside the valley from where one can spot the Mt. Everest.
Chandragiri Hill Station is located 14.3 km or 8.88 miles southwest of the heart of Kathmandu Valley, Thamel. The Hill Station is reachable via Chandragiri Cable Car lift, hiking trail, and road. The steep hiking trail pierces through the lush forest of Chandragiri Hills and can make for a nice day hiking trip. However, the road to the top of the hill is not a great one. It is an off-road track that gets muddy during showers and dusty if not. There are sections on the road that are not barred and have hundreds of meters of drop.
Cable Car lift is a safe and easy way of getting to the top of the Chandragiri Hills. The bottom station is situated in Thankot at an elevation of 1550 meters. The Chandragiri Hills Cable Car lift, in just 15 minutes will get you to the top station, which is 2520 meters above sea level. That’s 970 meters of elevation gain. A short uphill walk from the top station will get tourers to the main religious monument of the Chandragiri Hills, Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple. The Bhaleshwor Mahadev temple itself is elevated 2551 meters above sea level. Nearby the temple, there is a viewing area and an amusement park.
Well, it depends on what you are looking for, but one thing we can assure you with our decades of experience is that the Chandragir Hills Tour will reveal to you a unique perspective to observe the beauty of Kathmandu Valley, witness the culture & belief of people, and indubitably a retreat to nature from the bustling city to relish the natural beauty and panoramic views of Mountain peaks amidst the hills of Kathmandu Valley rim.
The tour is easy, short, and safe for everyone. The tour takes visitors to the top of the Chandragiri Hills via cable car, which means no walking is required. The tour is also disability-friendly, which means a person with a disability can also do this tour. It is a perfect tour to do with family and friends.
If you are looking for a sightseeing day tour in Kathmandu, you will definitely love this tour. The views from the Chandragiri Hill Top are amazing, you will see devotees making a pilgrimage visit to Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple. The chilly weather at the top is a refreshment for the soul and rejuvenates your body.
