Perfect timing for cable car ride and Mountain View - I was once again assigned Ramsaran Simkhada (Ram) as my guide which was great. Ram kept in touch with my via WhatsApp and we agreed to push back the start time as it started raining at our scheduling meeting time. This was perfect as the rain cleared out some of the clouds and opened up some incredible viewing of the western ranges of the Himalayas. Very thankful for Ram’s support. The cable car ride was amazing. Very smooth and quick ride to the top (more than 2,000 meters up) and Ram was very helpful in pointing out the ranges for me and other tourists who were nearby. Awesome guy. This trip is good for anyone who wants a relaxing afternoon or you can add some of the activities to enhance the journey (e.g. horseback riding, zipline or bicycle wire riding).

Worth the money - Don't rely in this to get a view of the Himalayas. It's extremenly weather dependent. however it's still a fun day, there are activities at the top of the mountain that don't break the budget, and it's the freshest air you'll breathe the whole week if staying in Kathmandu. You can get there for under USD$10 with a rideshare app. it costs about USD$20 for an adult with a foreign passport. you don't need your passport to go up unless you are applying for a reduced rate on account of your age.

A great experience in safe hands - Calm and safe driver who arranged the ticket and informed about everything I needed to know! Waited on site for transport back. Everything worked perfectly.

Breathtaking & very convenient - Absolutely breathtaking experience. I was so lucky with the weather; it was so clear when I went. The tour makes it a no-fuss experience too. Anil, my ride, was so kind - lined up himself get me a ticket (an express lane one!). He patiently waited for me the whole time I went around the viewpoints at my own ease.

Not to be missed - Saw snow capped Himalayas including Mt Everest from the cable car and hilltop. Very experienced driver DIL and tour guide Gheenis(?) was wonderful and very knowledgeable. It made our trip efficient and awesome.

Chandragiri Cable Car Hills Tour - Namaste. 🙏🏼 It was amazing. I really loved it. ☺️ Had so much fun going there and seeing the beautiful view. The trip was smooth maybe because it is weekdays as mentioned by my guide (Suk). He was a great photographer too 📸 Managed to ride the swing and Zipline on top of the hill. Over all I think this is one of the place to visit if you are planning to visit Kathmandu. 👍🏼👏🏼

Cable cars and so foggy - If you like riding cable cars then this place is for you. I wanted to see the mountains but it is very foggy so a bit disappointing for me. This place is good for kids and zipline seekers though.

Cable car into the clouds - Driver was on time and the cable car ride up into the clouds was nice. No views due to the fog but I enjoyed it anyway. Driver waited at the bottom until I came down at a time that suited me. He then dropped me at Durban Square (instead of hotel) at my request.

Not worth the money - We had booked this tour for the convenience of being picked up at the hotel and taken to Chandragiri Hills, however we found the cost of the tour was not worth it for what we got. The driver was 45 minutes late picking us up - we were expecting some delay due to traffic but we got to Chandragiri Hills in normal time and traffic was not bad, so it’s hard to say what caused such a delay. There were no seatbelts (!!) in the backseat of the car. The driver did not say anything to us between the pickup and getting to the cable car. He went to buy tickets for us, and then we were on our own until we wanted to go back. It’s a nice service, but not worth the 55USD per person (cable car tickets were 20USD).
