Chandragiri Hills Day Tour

Chandragiri Hills day tour is one of the most common day tours that you cannot miss out on when you are in Kathmandu Valley. Chandragiri Hills is basically a hill station that caters to not just devotees of Hinduism but also to those who are looking to spend a splendid day with their friends and family in a rather beautiful and chilly location.

Chandragiri Hills is very close to the capital city, and going there from either Lalitpur or Bhaktapur is not going to take too long either. There are several aspects of Chandragiri hills that are going to fascinate you. However, if you are new to the place, there are several things that you need to keep in mind, including your need to take along a guide, consideration of government taxes and transportation, and a reliable map for the tour. With Eco Holidays Nepal, all these concerns will no longer be an issue for you.

The entire Chandragiri Hills tour is going to be completed in only a single day, perhaps only a few hours. The day will start with breakfast in your hotel. Once you are prepared for the day tour, your driver will drive you to the location.

As soon as you are off your vehicle, you will be guided towards the cable cars, from where you will be ascending to the Chandragiri hills at 2,551 m and 7,500 ft of height. The height is one of the highest within the valley. Once you land, you can find several places for your children to play, for you to relax, and restaurants where you can eat as you wish.

Additionally, there are several souvenir shops from where you can take along memoirs for your loved ones. Bhaleshwor Mahadev temple in Chandragiri hills is perfect for Hindu devotees. The temple also marks both the historical and religious significance of Chandragiri, which was considered one of the four routes to Kathmandu Valley taken by the king of Gorkha, Prithvi Narayan Shah. Once you are done with your day tour of Chandragiri Hills, you will be brought down to your ride back home from the cable car again.

Since Swoyambhunath stupa is quite close to the Chandragiri hills, you can also take a day tour there. The stupa is one of the oldest ones in Nepal and holds great significance among Buddhist and Hindu devotees. Swoyambhunath is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your day tour here is completely optional and is not included in the Chandragiri Hills day tour itself.

Once you are back from your day tour to Chandragiri, you will be driven back to your hotel by your driver, where you can finally take off your traveling shoes and relax by evening time.
