Chandragiri DakshinKali Hiking Brief Insight

Chandragiri DakshinKali Hiking Highlights:

  • Experience the Cable Car ride from Thankot to Chandragiri hill.
  • Magnificent views of Ganesh, Langtang, Gaurishankar, and Everest Ranges.
  • Visit the illustrious temples of Bhaleshwor Mahadev and DakshinKali.
  • Scenic views of the Kathmandu Valley and gorgeous landscapes.

Chandragiri DakshinKali Hiking is one of the best short and lively walks around the Kathmandu Valley that promises of sublime sceneries. Along the journey, the hike introduces the hikers to the local Hindu faith in the form of esteemed temples like Bhaleshwor Mahadev and DakshinKali. The hiking also offers mesmerizing views of the mountain ranges of the Himalayas and the hustling Kathmandu Valley. The hike takes off on a cable car and settles along the glorious forested trails.

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.

  • star rating  尼泊尔5天小trip - 我和朋友的飞机是晚上到达加德满都机场。出了机场很顺利地就找到了接机的小伙伴,check in入住都十分顺利,我们的行程是第二天马上去纳加阔特看日出,所以当时就只定了一天的酒店,但是由于前一天有点累,第二天两个人居然睡过头了,但是酒店人员人很好,提醒了我们退房之后,还给了我们足够的时间收拾东西才退房。然后就直接是司机带我们去了纳加阔特。路上时间稍微有点久,但司机人很好,风景也不错,到了新酒店check in,刚刚好是看日落的时间。酒店老板很热情的招呼我们,还特意给我们说了很多明天看日出的小tips,然后我们就选了个位子坐下,喝喝酒,聊聊天,吹吹风,非常舒服。第二天设了闹钟,早早起来看日出,景色真的是太让人震撼,第一次有那种开阔的感觉。拍了很多很美的照片,然后就吃了早餐出发去博卡拉了。我们没有去trekking,因为时间有限,但在博卡拉就是各种悠闲散漫地生活,完全放空,什么都不想,望着鱼尾峰发呆,滑翔伞,在费瓦湖上泛舟,吃吃喝喝,泡泡吧,感受一下风土人情,还看到了一些当地的传统手工艺。虽然没能去trekking有点遗憾,但也给自己留一个再回去一次的理由。整个行程基本上只要说出自己的想法就都会被满足,很舒心,不用费心神,真的很放松,可以从忙忙碌碌的生活中抽身而出,过一种不一样的生活!
