Highlights
- Kathmandu - We pick up from your hotel inside the ring road and the Bouddha area. We suggest going early for a better view.
- Chandragiri Hills - This is a truly amazing trip as you ride effortlessly to the top of Chandragiri Hill (Elev. 2520 m). The trip will start as you travel from your hotel by private vehicle. The cable car starts at 8.00 am in the morning and closed at about 5.00 pm daily. The ride to the top takes just 10 minutes of truly breath-taking scenery as your gondola rises above the dense jungle below. As you climb higher, the mountain ranges become more and more visible.
On top of Chandragiri Hill, walk around and enjoy the magnificent view. Here you will find the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site that honors Sati Devi, the first wife of Lord Shiva.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the finest restaurants in all of Kathmandu (meals are not included in the price). The food is excellent and the scenery is outstanding. Finally, return to your private car by cable car, traveling down the mountain before taking the short 30-minute ride back to your hotel.
- Bhaleshwar Mahadev Temple - An enraged Shiva carried Satidevi dead body on his back and walked across the world like a madman for a long span of time, without taking note of Satidevi’s decaying body. Bhaleshwor Mahadev appeared at the spot where Satidevi’s ‘Bhala’ or the forehead fell off from her dead body then this temple call Bhaleshwor Mahadev.

Calming Experience - 1st day in Nepal so the cool weather, fresh breeze of air, lush green trees of Chandragiri was a great escape from the scourging hot weather in the Philippines. The silence during the cable car trip hearing only the sound of nature was also very relaxing. Made special by our very well versed and knowledgeable tour guide, Sarati.

Great experience with exceptional guide and driver - Experience was great. Hotel pickup was timely, car and driver were well, and guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The cable car experience itself was fantastic, much longer ride than i was expecting. Views from atop were quite impressive despite smog blocking some of the further away mountains.

Great view of the high Himalayan peaks. - The amazing view from the top. Apparently we were very lucky to be able to see most of the high Himalayans peaks at this time of the year. The Everest remained elusive but eh! we can't have everything.
We had a great guide who was really helpful with pushing my wife up the hill on a wheel chair.

Great tour with view of the himalayas. - Great tour with beautiful view on the himalayas and interesting ceremony at the temple. Our guide Ananta was incredibly helpful with the wheelchair that my wife required. He was also knowledgeable on the names of the mountain peaks and helped us to kind of take part in the religious ceremony. I can honestly say that this tour went beyond our expectations. Well done.

Excellent and Interesting day. - This was a great day out, even though the weather on the day restricted the view. Our guide Sarita was excellent. She was very knowledgeable polite and easy going. She was always watching out for us as we walked around and got on and off the Cable Car. The temple was very interesting and it was nice to sit with Sarita at the restaurant for coffee and a bite to eat while taking in the atmosphere.
We can highly recommend this tour. Really worth doing.

Excellent - Pankaj Thapa was a very good communicator and the driver + car were excellent. Pankaj was very knowledgeable about Nepal and did an outstanding introductory overview of Kathmandu during the drive to the cable car ride. The hilltop Everest View point had a stunning view of the Himalayan's. It was an excellent way to spend half a day in Kathmandu and having Pankaj as the guide added so much more value.
