Chandragiri is one of the most popular day-trip destinations near Kathmandu, offering a refreshing escape from the city and impressive views of the surrounding mountains. Located at around 2,551 metres, the hill provides a beautiful vantage point over Kathmandu Valley and, on clear days, the Himalayan range.
The Chandragiri Cable Car makes reaching the hilltop easy and enjoyable, with scenic views unfolding throughout the ride. You can also take a short hike around the hill, visit the Bhaleshwar Mahadev Temple and enjoy the peaceful forest surroundings.
