“The Chandragiri Cable Car is a must-visit attraction near Kathmandu, Nepal. Offering a smooth and scenic 10-minute ride to the top of Chandragiri Hill, it provides breathtaking views of the Kathmandu Valley and the Himalayan range, including Mt. Everest on clear days. The ride is safe, well-maintained, and suitable for all ages. At the summit, visitors can explore the historic Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, enjoy local food, and relax in a peaceful, natural setting. It’s a perfect day trip for both locals and tourists looking to escape the city's hustle and enjoy nature and culture in one place. I enjoyed this trip very much. Most recommended.”

Kathmandu day tour to Chandragiri by cable car and Swoyambhu Monkey Temple, with hotel pickup, guide, and panoramic valley views.
“There's a lot to see at the Monkey temple, well-worth visiting, though it's usually included in other more extensive tours. The cable car ride is fun and looks safe, but if it's not a clear day you won't see much at the top. My guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. He spoke excellent English. Certainly worthwhile if you haven't seen the Monkey Temple, though seeing it twice is no bad thing given there's a lot to see.”
Pick the altitude, pick the city, pick the kitchen.
