View From Chandragiri Hill - Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple
Kathmandu is a fascinating city, but many travelers miss out on the natural splendor of the surrounding valley. Enjoy pine-covered hills and sweeping, snow-capped views of the Himalayan range during this relaxing day trip to Chandragiri Hill. Hike up shady trails, grab lunch at a nearby restaurant, or lounge in the park. The tour includes tickets to a brand-new cable car for a scenic ride up the mountain.
At 8:00 AM we will start our sightseeing trip along with a private vehicle and a professional tour guide. Travel one hour to the base of the Chandragiri Hills. Hop in a cable car for the 2551-meter ascent into the hills and enjoy panoramic views of Mount Everest and the Himalayas.
Breathe in the fresh mountain air and, with an experienced guide, discover one of the most important Hindu temples, the Bhaleshwor Mahadev, believed to possess wish-granting powers. Learn the history and legends of the hills that are said to have given Prithivi Narayan Shah the spiritual powers necessary to annex the valley into his kingdom and hear stories about the famous Gorkhali King and his clever disguise.
Enjoy lunch on your own before descending by cable car for the return transfer to Kathmandu.
