- Chandragiri Hills Cable Car - Chandragiri Hills is a picturesque hilltop spot situated on the southwestern edge of Kathmandu Valley, standing at about 2,500 meters above sea level. It provides stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan range, showcasing peaks like Everest, Annapurna, and Manaslu on clear days. The modern cable car ride, lasting approximately 10–15 minutes, is a highlight in itself, gliding over lush forests and offering breathtaking valley views.
At the summit, visitors can explore the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a revered site dedicated to Lord Shiva with both historical and spiritual importance. The hilltop also boasts landscaped gardens, a children’s playground, souvenir shops, and a variety of restaurants and cafes. Chandragiri Hills perfectly combines natural beauty, cultural heritage, and family-friendly activities, making it an essential destination for travelers seeking tranquility and magnificent views away from the city’s hustle.
- Swoyambhu Mahachaitya - Swayambhunath Stupa, often referred to as the Monkey Temple, is one of Nepal’s most iconic and ancient religious landmarks. Situated atop a hill in western Kathmandu, this UNESCO World Heritage Site provides a panoramic view of Kathmandu Valley and is cherished by both Buddhists and Hindus.
With a history spanning over 2,500 years, the central stupa features a striking white dome crowned with a gilded spire, from which the all-seeing eyes of Buddha look out in four directions. The site is adorned with prayer flags, spinning wheels, and smaller shrines and temples, showcasing a rich blend of Vajrayana Buddhist and Hindu architectural styles.
The “Monkey Temple” nickname arises from the sacred monkeys that inhabit the area, adding a lively and unique charm to the spiritual ambiance. With its deep historical significance, sacred symbolism, and elevated position, Swayambhunath offers visitors a profound cultural experience and a serene escape from the city’s chaos.
