Chandragiri Hiking is a great one-day trip on the south-western Kathmandu valley ridge. The hill is 2,547 meters above average sea level and is accessible by two primary methods. A drive from Kathmandu takes you to the Chandragiri hill in around an hour; however, the cable car is more fun-filled and scenic.
A cable car ride takes around 10 minutes to take you to the top of the Chandragiri hill. The cable car station at Thankot is a little over half an hours’ drive from Kathmandu. Beginning the hike, you head to the Bhaleshwor Temple.
The temple holds great significance in Hindu mythology and has tales and myths that date back to ancient times. Continuing on, the hike leads you to the viewpoint where a panorama of the Himalayas from Annapurna and Everest ranges are visible.
Moving along the trail through the forests, the hike offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the bio-diversity. Heading further south-east, the hike reaches the temple of DakshinKali. The temple is dedicated to the ferocious goddess Kali and sees lots of sacrifice in the name of the goddess.
In addition to religious and natural attractions, there are souvenir shops that house a variety of clothing brands and cultural goods that are reasonably priced and perfect for your visit. Perfect for shopaholics! The hike is easy and can be completed by anyone with decent physical conditions.
