Tour Overview
Just an hour’s drive from Kathmandu lies Chandragiri Hills (2,551m)—a perfect day escape where breathtaking Himalayan views meet culture and adventure. This tour blends all three into one unforgettable experience, making it ideal for families, couples, and thrill seekers alike.
Your journey begins with a scenic ride from the city to the cable car base, where you’ll board Nepal’s modern cable car system. Floating above lush hills and forests, the ride itself is an adventure—offering panoramic glimpses of the Kathmandu Valley and beyond. Within minutes, you arrive at the hilltop, greeted by 360° views of the Himalayas, from Everest and Annapurna to Langtang and Ganesh Himal.
At the top, the atmosphere is serene yet lively. You can visit the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a sacred site tied to Lord Shiva, stroll through landscaped gardens, or simply relax at a hilltop café with the mountains as your backdrop. The calmness of the place gives you time to pause, breathe, and capture some of your best photographs of Nepal.
Once you’ve soaked in the scenery, it’s time to fuel your adventurous side. The Chandragiri Zipline lets you soar through the air with the valley sprawling beneath you. It’s safe, exhilarating, and the perfect way to add a rush of adrenaline to your day.
By the evening, you’ll descend by cable car and drive back to Kathmandu with a mix of peace, thrill, and unforgettable mountain memories. This is a one-day adventure that gives you a little bit of everything Nepal is loved for—nature, spirituality, and excitement—without leaving the capital far behind.
