Great experience! - Wonderful experience going up to Chandragiri Hills with Shanti, our tour guide. The cable car ride was smooth. The skies were not clear on the day we went but we still had a great time and beautiful views of the city and temple. Shanti was great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Would recommend.

Quality guide made this experience great! - Our guide Pankaj was fantastic. He spoke many languages and was able to explain to us important cultural and historical significance of what we were seeing. I’d highly recommend him as a guide on this tour.

Highly recommended as a starter / light activity - We did this tour on our first day in Kathmandu after arriving quite late the night before. We purposely picked this as we felt that the program is not too early & heavy for the first day. We were met by our guide Sarita at the hotel and we proceeded directly to the Cable Car station, about 40 mins from the center of the city. Once we reached the top of the Chandragiri hill we were able to see a large part of the Kathmandu valley and we were lucky enough that the sky was pretty clear which enabled us to spot a number of the Himalaya’s peak from a distance. The temple on the hill top has an important historical background as well. Overall, the activity was worthwhile as an intro to Kathmandu and recommended if you are looking for a light activity for half a day. We were great full to have Sarita assigned as our guide as she speaks very good english and very knowledgeable about everythingNepal & Kathmandu. Highly recommended to request for the service should you engage a tour with this provider.

What a beautiful experience/Views from the top - We were collected by our lovely guide Shanti, on our first day in Kathmandu. On the drive to the cable cars, Shanti gave us lots of information, the people and their way of life. Shanti accompanied us on the cable car and gave us lots of information about the area and the mountains. Once at the top, she explained about the temple and the gods and gave us some insights into Hinduism. We were lucky enough to visit on the Teej Women's Festival and we got some great photo opportunities of both the views and women in their beautiful saris. We would highly recommend this trip. Thank you Shanti for making our day so wonderful.

Som was the best guide! - Som was an amazing guide. He really wanted us to have a good time and was really knowledgeable and fun to talk to. There was fog so we couldn’t see the Himalayas from up top, but the views of Kathmandu valley were still beautiful and the jungle and mountains looked breathtaking.

Nice! - We’ll set up. Modern equipment nice ride up and down. View should be spectacular but we went rainy day (don’t do that). We ride zip line. Only 30 seconds for long one so very short but fun. Cost 800 rupees (@7$) each. Beer garden so so but dirty/moldy furniture (see photo). Probably a must on clear days!
