Experience the Chandragiri Hill cable car ride, a newly added attraction to the area. The panoramic views of the mountains and geographical hilly terrain landscapes are definitely the highlights of the hill.
Just 7 km away from Thankot, Kathmandu, Chandragiri Hills feels like a whole new world, altogether. The 2551 meter-high natural haven is surrounded by temperate wilderness with a fantastic panorama of the Himalayas as the backdrop. The closest location from Kathmandu to get a view of the majestic Mt. Everest is surely something that you shouldn’t be missing.
Chandragiri Hills has its historical significance as well. It was from these hills that King Prithivi Narayan Shah caught the first glimpse of a much scenic and prosperous Kathmandu valley, which in fact instilled in the king’s mind an idea of annexing the valley into his kingdom.
