About Chandragiri in Kathmandu

Less than an hour’s drive away from Kathmandu city, Chandragiri hilltop is a mesmerising tourist location, enriched with equal amounts of natural beauty and cultural significance. The view of the entire Kathmandu valley can be seen from up there. It is said to be so beautiful that when King Ranjit Malla had to leave his kingdom defeated, he took one last glance at it from here and broke down into tears. The great Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah also decided to annexe the valley after seeing it from Chandragiri hills. At 2500 km on the top of Chandragiri Nepal, the entire stretch of all the great Himalayan mountain massifs can be seen. For an even better glimpse, there is a view tower with binoculars. From west to east runs the great Annapurna, Nepal’s favourite trekking destination Mount Manaslu, the mighty Ganesh Himal and then the magnificent Langtang Himal. With a clear sky, one might even catch a glimpse of Mount Everest.

Cable Car Ride:

One of the main attractions here is the cable ride up the slope. From the foot of the hill, the Chandragiri cable cars take tourists up to the top smoothly. The spectacular 360°C view of the valley and the mountains are absolutely worth the money spent on the ticket. The journey is only of 10 minutes and covers an ascent of 2.5 km.

Bhaleshwar Mahadev Temple:

At the top of Chandragiri hill Nepal, the tourists are greeted with the Shiva shrine of Bhaleshwar Mahadev. This temple is said to have been built over goddess Sati’s forehead. It was part of a very important chapter in Hindu mythology when a bereaved Lord Shiva roamed all around the universe with his consort’s corpse in arms. This temple atop Chandragiri Kathmandu boasts true Newari architecture with wooden carvings and an antique vibe. There is a statue of Prithvi Narayan Shah outside – the king Lord Shiva had blessed to win over the Valley of Kathmandu.

Rajesh's 10 days trip to kathmandu

I am Rajesh Bhagwat from Pune, i am very much happy to write that my vacation planned by TRAVEL TRIANGLE through WEECARE HOLIDAYS was extremely good. Mr. Prabin of Wecare Holidays planned my VACATION in a very systematic way and as per my needs. I was traveling with my Gurudev whose age is 79, but due his proper planning of the sight seeing and consciously selected Hotels my journey was fantastic. He made sure to make us see the most of the fantastic places in NEPAL. Mr. Prabin has been so co-operative through out my journey, he attended each and every call of my tough he was with his family. HATS OFF TO PRABIN. God bless you PRABIN, WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

Amit's 7 days trip to kathmandu

I am recently back from my amazing week-long tour from Nepal. The memory is still fresh in my mind, and I am excited to share my experience with those who are reading it now. I normally book my tour through Travel Triangle platform who can connect me to more than one trusted and verified local tour agencies to choose my favorite itinerary. This time it was Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt. Ltd., who came up with the best plan and quote. Sumit from Snowyoda assisted me with alterations as per my need and managing the entire tour plan and communications. The accommodations were perfect for me, transportations were comfortable enough. Both the local drivers, Rabi Thapa (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot) and Arjun (in Pokhara), were good, decent persons and flexible enough with timings and places to visit. Look, there is nothing new that I can add to Nepal’s beauty or pilgrimage values. But I can strongly recommend that the only two factors that can influence your experience are “the weather” and “your plan”. You can choose a good time to visit and expect mother nature to be merciful to you. And at the same time, you have to trust on someone experienced enough to plan your tour. I believe I made the best out of my time in Nepal, whether I was paragliding in Sarangkot or enjoying the lakeside serenity of Phewa Tal or simply sitting by the shrine of Pashupatinath ji during Arati. I thank Snowyoda because I never had to worry about anything else apart from what I am going to see next. I believe, Snowyoda will keep continuing to help people like me to return with blissful experiences from Nepal.

Phani's 8 days trip to kathmandu

We spent 7 nights and 8 days visiting Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Jomsom (Muktinath). Mr. Abhishek helped us plan the trip, select hotels, and create an itinerary tailored to our needs. Initially hesitant in choosing an agency, I decided on Snowyoda after speaking with Mr. Abhishek. He exceeded our expectations, being available throughout the trip to ensure we enjoyed a seamless experience. Any adjustments I made during the trip were accommodated easily. Our journey was smooth and hassle-free. I also want to highlight our driver, Mr. Santosh, who was very helpful and ensured our comfort throughout. Overall, the quality of the hotels, vehicles, and service delivery was exceptional, exceeding our expectations. Unlike many agencies that prioritize profit over customer satisfaction, they genuinely focused on providing a great experience. We highly recommend their services for a well-organized and enjoyable travel experience.

Srinivas's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Travel Together with Tripathi Travels - Most important to mention Mr. Paras our tour planner and manager have helped me accomplish almost an impossible goal - Muktinath Darshan with my Mother and Aunt (senior citizens). An unforgettable experience for our family and it's just not Muktinath but also, Pashupatinath darshan, Janakpur dham, Kathmandu and Pokhara tourist attractions as well. It's pretty difficult to summarise our experience in words but I Express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Paras and each and every member in the team right from travel to accomodation to food for giving us a memorable experience to be treasured for lifetime. Whatsoever be the situation on a given day the amount of confidence Mr. Paras and team infused made us feel comfortable throughout. I would certainly plan my travel again with this wonderful team to explore the unexplored Nepal. Each and every moment in this journey was memorable dont know which to pick and which to leave. Thank you team once again!!
