Here you will find the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site that honors Sati Devi, the first wife of Lord Shiva.

I had a wonderful day today with my Tourguide Shanti Karki . She picked me up with a driver at my hotel and brought me to the cable car outside of Kathmandu. The ride to the top of the hill went smoothly and luckily the clouds lifted and I could get a good few of the spectacular mountains. On the top of the hill is a beautiful temple and we’re lucky to experience the blessing ceremony of the guru . Shanti explained me a lot about the history of the place and the different religions and the ceremony. I can highly recommend this trip .

the tour was impresive, especially with plenty explanation from our tour guide, Ms Sarita, who shared much information about Nepal heritage and culture. a short trip which worth, knowing a bit about Nepal heritage and culture, and off course history of the Chandragiri Hills and its temple. unfortunately whether not permit us to view the Himalayan ridge due to haze. will comeback again at perfect season as per recommendation from Sarita. Thank you for fantastic host and guide during the tour, it was compensate the haze. 😁😁 l

Excellent 1/2 day tour, Rabina was our guide and is very knowledgeable about the history, the religion(s), the background and the people. This tour to Chandragiri gets you outside the city into the beautiful countryside. When you arrive, take the gondola (cable car) up to the top and enjoy food, shopping, a beautiful temple, rock climbing, horseback riding, zip line, etc. This tour is one of the good ones in Kathmandu and stunningly beautiful. 100%, book this tour with Rabina!

This was our first Nepal trip and we booked this tour many months in advance. Nabaraj Thapa, co-founder of the Himalayan Planet Adventures reached out to us as soon as we booked the tour and answered all our Nepal-related questions, and shared all tour-specific info. It was our first guided private tour on our arrival in Kathmandu. We were picked up from the hotel lobby by our guide Pankaj on time for this beautiful cable car ride up the mountains. We enjoyed the company of Pankaj explaining facts about Chandragiri and the Holy Valeshwor Temple. The view from the top of the mountains is top-notch on a clear day. Nabaraj was always in touch with us for the rest of our trip in Kathmandu and Pokhara. He is very knowledgeable and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our trip when needed. We will recommend him and his company to all our family and friends for any tour in Kathmandu and Nepal in general.

This was a great experience great views and a lot of interesting facts about the history, culture and religion! Sarita my guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, I asked lots of questions and she always had an informed answer. Pick up and drop off was very quick and smooth. She also had great advice on other tours and things to see. I even got a chance to add another tour on the way back home!

To sum up the place is Awesome and a must visit spot if you are in Kathmandu. The cable ride is amazing and the view from top of the mountain is out of the world. There are lot of activities up in the mountain like zip line . The temple is worth visiting . Our tour guide Shanti was smiling and helpful. One suggestion to the Tour operater the tour timing needs to be increased and additional one hour is required . We felt short of timing.

This is an experience you should never miss if you are in Nepal , Kathmandu. It’s an hour drive and by cable car you go up . The view of the mountains are out of the world from the top . Lots of activities to do on the top including Zip line which was fun. The temple premises is amazing . Our Guide Shanti was helpful .. few things though which we felt, one the pricing is on a higher scale for the tour , two the time is not sufficient it requires at least one more hour and the tour guide was asking us to leave at 11.45 , I really suggest to extend the timing as we could not see or relax .. apart from that overall excellent tour
