Chandragiri Hills
Located in the south-west of the capital city Kathmandu, Chandragiri Hill is one of Nepal's most loved day-trip destinations. Locals, expats and tourists alike visit this place for an exhilarating experience and some lovely memories are made in the wake. The main destination of Chandragiri Hill is the mountaintop, from where spectacular views of the great Himalayan mountain ranges can be seen. The crisp cold weather would envelop you, as only the snow-covered crests of numerous mountain massifs raise their head above the cloudy mist and the green valley of Kathmandu lies at the bottom, looking beautiful and glorious.

5.00Went to the Chandragiri hills by cable car during our spare day while in Kathmandu. It was a great spend. There is a temple at the hilltop, which is quite beautiful. You also get to see amazing mountain views of peaks like Langtang and Annapurna. Visiting the hilltop is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu city. Highly recommend it if you have a day off touring the city!!

5.00Went to the Chandragiri hills which is quite near Kathmandu during my visit to Nepal. It was a peaceful, relaxing trip. I experienced traveling via cable car for the first time in Nepal and it was quite exciting. It was like riding a roller coaster and bonus point the vistas were also quite cool. There was a temple in the hill which was quite massive and made the region look majestic. The mountain views and the view of the city from the top was also quite cool. Thanks to the team at exciting Nepal for making this short trip possible!

5.00Took a trip to chandragiri recently during my day off to chandragiri hills. It was a short and sweet trip and very relaxing. We traveled via cable car transport and saw beautiful vistas of the valley from the hilltop. Turns out the hilltop is a common gateway point for people of the valley. Highly recommend it to you if you do it during your day off in Kathmandu! It's a short but very enjoyable trip!
Breathtaking views, short and sweet

5.00The trip was amazing and well timed. The agency took care of almost everything and still left ample freedom and not micromanage everything (unlike many other agencies). Took the cable car from the foothill which was an adventure on its own. Got a chance to talk to locals who were also visiting the place. The temple complex was clean and beautiful. The views were breathtaking. Overall, a great experience.
Snowfall at the Chandra Giri Hills

5.00If you have been in Kathmandu during winter, visiting Chandragiri Hill during a snowfall is an absolute must! The beauty of this place is unparalleled, with the snow-covered hilltop offering panoramic views of the mountains and valleys. You ascend to the top of the hill on a cable car, the snowfall adds an extra layer of excitement to the journey. Once you reach the top, you can explore the hilltop and enjoy the stunning views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The snow-covered landscape, along with the temple, is a sight to behold. The peaceful surroundings offer a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The exciting Nepal team suggested I do this trip during my spare day in Kathmandu and their timing couldn’t have been better. It is rare to have snowfall during April but their suggestion luckily allowed me to be there during snow. I love the team for suggesting me to take this trip during this random time. The experience was immaculate. I highly recommend you choose them for this trip.
