Chandragiri Hills Cable Car & Monkey Temple Private Sightseeing Ride

Make the most of your stay in Kathmandu with a fully customizable private sightseeing ride combining culture, nature, and breathtaking views. Relax in the comfort of your own vehicle as your Welcomer shares historical facts, essential information about each stop, and personal insights that bring Nepal’s landscapes, traditions, and spiritual heritage to life.

Suggested Itinerary

Begin your ride by visiting 1Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath Area), one of Kathmandu’s most iconic landmarks, perched atop a hill overlooking the city. As you explore the area, your driver will share background information about its spiritual importance, symbolism, and the traditions practiced here daily, while you enjoy sweeping views over the Kathmandu Valley.

Continue your journey toward 2Chandragiri Cable Car Base Station, where you’ll prepare for a memorable ascent into the hills. The cable car ride offers a smooth and scenic journey above forests and valleys, gradually revealing wider views as you rise higher above the city below. Your Welcomer will assist with timing and logistics, ensuring a relaxed and seamless experience.

For a memorable highlight of your tour, you’ll reach 3Chandragiri Hilltop, a peaceful hilltop destination offering panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and, on clear days, the distant Himalayan range. Here, you can enjoy time to take photos, walk around the hilltop area, or relax while soaking in the fresh mountain air. Alternatively, if time allows, you may choose to enjoy refreshments at a nearby café or spend extra time exploring the surroundings.

At the end of your sightseeing ride, your friendly Welcome Driver will return you comfortably to your accommodation in Kathmandu.

For the best experience, bring a light jacket and camera — temperatures can be cooler at the hilltop, and the views are truly unforgettable.
