Activity itinerary

Chandragiri Cable Car Top Station

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Chandragiri Hills is a scenic hilltop destination located on the southwestern outskirts of Kathmandu Valley, approximately 2,500 metres above sea level. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayan range, including peaks like Everest, Annapurna, and Manaslu on clear days. Accessible via a modern cable car ride that lasts around 10–15 minutes, the journey itself is a highlight, soaring over lush forests and offering stunning valley vistas. At the top, visitors can explore the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a sacred site dedicated to Lord Shiva with historical and spiritual significance. The hilltop also features landscaped gardens, a children’s playground, souvenir shops, and a variety of restaurants and cafes. Chandragiri Hills is a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and family-friendly recreation, making it a must-visit destination for travellers seeking peaceful ambiance and majestic views away from the city bustle.

Swayambhu Mahachaitya

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Swayambhunath Stupa, commonly known as the Monkey Temple, is one of the most iconic and ancient religious sites in Nepal. Perched atop a hill in western Kathmandu, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a 360-degree view of Kathmandu Valley and is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Dating back over 2,500 years, the central stupa features a brilliant white dome topped with a gilded spire, upon which the all-seeing eyes of Buddha gaze out in four directions. The site is adorned with prayer flags, spinning wheels, and smaller shrines and temples, reflecting a rich blend of Vajrayana Buddhist and Hindu architectural influences. The nickname “Monkey Temple” comes from the sacred monkeys that inhabit the site, adding a lively and unique character to the spiritual atmosphere. With its deep historical roots, sacred symbolism, and elevated location, Swayambhunath offers visitors a profound cultural experience and a peaceful retreat from the city's chaos.
