Chandragiri offers you the peak of Happiness - Chandragiri with its bubble cable car ride is a must for any tourist into Kathmandu. It offers magnificient views of the Kathmandu valley just as it did entice the first king PRITHVI NARAYANAN SHAH. The cool breeze wafting around the BHALESWARA SIVA temple on top is an unforgettable experience. It is said that the forehead of SATI DEVI, his dead wife fell on this spot while he roamed the world making it a powerful Siva- Shakthi Stal of pilgrimage. The area is clean and offers a scenic restaurant where the local cuisine momos has to be tasted. Tripadvisor helped me plan the trip and Iam grateful for their help.

Spectacular day - Stunning views. The Himalayas showed up. Lucky. The cable car was a remarkable experience as was the zip line. Both felt safe. Food and drinks available to buy. Temple visit and legend with it good. Several play areas for children. We had pre purchased tickets which enabled us to avoid the queue. I recommend this.

Wonderful day trip Chandragiri Cable Car with Dharma - A must do when visiting Kathmandu. My guide Dharma was wonderful as was our driver (I’m sorry I didn’t write down your name). He was early for my pickup and very polite and friendly. As a solo female traveller, I felt VERY SAFE, and kept checking on my well-being. Which was very kind. Lots of laughs and his knowledge is very impressive. We couldn’t see Everest or the mountain range as was cloudy in the distance at the top. As a foreigner the charge is USD$22 for the cable car. Your notes have to be PRISTINE. I had a $1 bill that had a minuscule corner fold maybe 3mm. It was not accepted. ( not fault of Dharma) Would highly recommend.

Chandragiri Hill Day Trip in the clouds - Excellent guide but horrible day to ascend the hill to see the mountain ranges! Not the guides fault and we made the best of it…

Great Viewing Opportunity - This trip takes you up around 1000m above Kathmandu. The cable car is only 9 years old and feels very safe. Potentially the view would be amazing however unluckily it was very cloudy for us which is obviously a risk. Found the company easy to deal with and our guide Dharma was very friendly.

Better take a taxi! - We bought this tour thinking that we could have a great experience, instead, we had a very expensive taxi drive. I WANT A REFUND, because, there is a shuttle bus for free that can make the same that this "tour". I DONT RECOMMEND TO BUY IT, BETTER TAKE A TAKE AND SAVE YOUR MONEY.
