One of the beautiful day hiking trips in nature in the surroundings of Kathmandu, Chandragiri Hiking trip offers us a peaceful nature walking experience. Chandragiri Hill that is in the surrounding ridge of the Kathmandu valley has been a popular place these days after the recent cable car operation there. But Chandragiri Day Hiking trip is one of the best nature walks in Kathmandu long before the operation of the cable car. We can make it a luxury day hiking in Kathmandu as we can add a cable car ride on the way back down from the top.
This day hike takes us through the densely forested trail to the top of the hill. We can enjoy a magnificent view of the Himalayan range and a beautiful view of Kathmandu valley on a clear day. The nature walk will offer us a peaceful time away from the crowd of the city.
The hiking starts after exploring the beautiful town of Kirtipur. About 3 hours of walk up the hill takes us to the top of Chandragiri hill. We will enjoy the view this wonderful viewpoint has to offer us. We can also explore the recently developed facilities at the place including the temple to Bhaleshwor Mahadev. Later, going down has two options for us. Hike through the forest down to Mata Tirtha or take a cable car ride down to Thankot. You can choose from the options at the time of booking.
