Begin your day with a captivating journey to two of Kathmandu Valley’s most iconic hilltop landmarks, blending breathtaking views, cultural heritage, and local flavours into a memorable experience.

Your adventure starts with a comfortable hotel pick-up in Kathmandu, followed by a scenic drive to the Chandragiri Hills Cable Car Base Station. From here, embark on a 2.4 km cable car ride that gently lifts you above lush hills and valleys, reaching the summit in approximately 15 minutes. At the top, visit the sacred Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple and enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. On clear days, the distant Himalayan skyline—including Mt. Everest, Mt. Annapurna, and Mt. Manaslu—forms a spectacular backdrop.

During your time at Chandragiri Hills, enjoy a complimentary serving of Vegetarian or Chicken Momos (Nepali dumplings), offering a delicious taste of Nepal’s most loved local speciality while you relax and take in the serene surroundings.

After descending, the tour continues to Swayambhunath, famously known as the Monkey Temple. This ancient hilltop complex is one of Nepal’s most sacred sites, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Explore the magnificent stupa, various shrines, and vibrant prayer wheels, while observing the playful monkeys that add charm and life to the site, and enjoy sweeping views over the city below.

For travellers wishing to extend their experience, an optional overnight stay at the Chandragiri Hills Five-Star Luxury Resort is available as an add-on during checkout. The resort offers refined comfort, tranquil surroundings, and complimentary breakfast, perfect for a restful retreat above the valley.

Note: For guests seeking an added thrill, the tour also offers an optional zipline experience as an add‑on during checkout. Chandragiri’s zipline consists of two adrenaline‑pumping rides of approximately 100 metres and 200 metres in length that glide through scenic hillside terrain, providing an exciting perspective of the natural landscape and hillside views.
