View of Kathmandu From Chandragiri Hill

Chandragiri Hill ( Nepali: चन्द्रागिरी ) is seven kilometres from Thankot, and lies on the south-west side of Kathmandu Valley which is 2551 metres above sea level. The hill provides panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley and the Himalayan ranges from Annapurna to Everest. Chandragiri Hill has cable car system to reach the temple of Bhaleshwor Mahadev. Chandragiri is where Prithivi Narayan Shah decided to annex the beautiful Nepal valley into his Gorkha Kingdom. Chandragiri Hill, located 16 kilometers from Kathmandu, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and the majestic Himalayan range, including peaks like Annapurna and Everest. Standing at 8,268 feet, the hill is a serene escape into nature, enriched by the historical significance of the Baleshwar Temple at its summit. Visitors can enjoy a scenic cable car ride, which provides a stunning perspective of the lush valley below and the towering, snow-capped mountains. Chandragiri Hill's natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for those seeking tranquility and spectacular views.
