Kathmandu: Chandragiri Cable Car and Monkey Temple Tour

Kathmandu: Chandragiri Cable Car and Monkey Temple Tour

This tour begins with a pick up from your hotel in Kathmandu, to the Chandragiri’s ‘Gondola Base Station’ located at Chandragiri Municipality. Opened in 2016, the 2.4 km ‘Cable Car’ ride takes you on a 10 minute thrilling trip to the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple at the top of the hill. The viewpoint in the hill offers you a beautiful panoramic view of Kathmandu Valley along with the mesmerizing view of Ganesh Himal, Mt. Manaslu and Langtang range. The hill station also offers you with a wide range of intercontinental cuisines and accommodation on a five star hotel for those seeking an stay overnight. In addition to your tour to Chandragiri, you will now head towards Swayambhunath, the monkey temple. Swayambhunath, an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, is a sacred religious site to both Hindus and Buddhists. Here you will be exploring the ancient complex consisting of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period. A Tibetan monastery, museum and library are more recent additions. Additionally, the travelers may even choose to stay for the night at Chandragiri Hills 5 Star Luxurious Resort for a refreshing and rejuvenating quality time. Here the travelers will be offered with lavish morning breakfast and two way cable car tickets and private transfers. But this option must be selected while booking. Furthermore, the travelers may also choose the addon activity for a thrilling Zip-Line ride at Chandragiri Hills as well. Note: During winter, Chandragiri’s high elevation gives it a better position in terms of altitude and temperature for a higher chance of snowfall. A dip in mercury for a couple of days, followed by a freezing rainfall guarantees snow covered hills around Kathmandu. And the best chance to experience it in Kathmandu with ease of access and in luxury is at the Chandragiri Hills.

The 9-day epic Annapurna Circuit trek via Thorong La with MTA Trekking was an unforgettable experience! The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, and the small villages along the trail were rich with charm, tradition, and vibrant life. The locals were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the traditional food was simply delicious. Our guide Sishir was outstanding. He prepared us thoroughly to handle the high altitude ensuring we had no difficulties as we crossed Thorong La. His guidance allowed us to complete the trek comfortably with plenty of time to rest and learn about the local traditions and the stunning mountain environment. Our porter was equally supportive and kind, making us feel like part of a team. This incredible adventure will always stay with us. Thanks to the beauty of the Annapurna Circuit and the amazing support from the MTA Trekking team. Highly recommended!

We loved the experience, we would highly recommend the activity, the guide, and the company. The views were absolutely breathtaking all over but especially at the top of Poon Hill - worth the early morning start and steep walking. We highly recommend Santos as a guide, he was very helpful and very happy and very knowledgeable about the entire area we were walking in and beyond. The company we booked through, Snow Peak, was also good and kept us updated.

Really nice experience, we happily learned about the local cuisine, how to cook Dal Bhat and how locals live. Everything is well organized, neat timing, transfer, clean kitchen and fresh products.

The kitchen was very clean and well organized. You could buy the recipe book for only 400 baht. Most of the dishes were delicious and you could choose which 3 dishes you wanted to eat.

Fantastic experience & Ram was a brilliant guide! An absolute must fit anyone visiting Pokhara!
