Hey Guys! Today, I'm thrilled to share my recent experience at one of Kathmandu's most renowned tourist destinations – the breathtaking Chandragiri Hills. Nestled amidst the scenic landscapes, this enchanting hill station lies the Bhaleshor Mahadev Temple, accessible through a thrilling cable car ride.
To begin your adventure, you can opt for a convenient bus ride from Kalanki to Chandragiri Base Station or hire a cab for a more personalized journey. While the bus drops you directly at the base station, taking a cab allows for a smoother ride, saving you a short walk of approximately 5 minutes to reach the station. Once you arrive, don't forget to grab your ticket for the cable car ride. It's important to note that ticket prices vary for locals, domestic travelers, and tourists, so if you're a local, be sure to carry your citizenship ID.
The cable car ride is a spectacular 2.5-kilometer journey, taking around 9 minutes to reach the top station from the base. At an altitude of 2551 meters above sea level, you'll find yourself amidst a stunning panorama of the entire Kathmandu Valley. On clear days, luck may grant you the mesmerizing view of the majestic mountain range, spanning from Annapurna to Everest ranges.
Upon reaching the top station, a short 2 to 3-minute uphill walk will lead you to the revered Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, a significant Hindu shrine. The temple houses a beautiful Shiva Linga, exuding an aura of spirituality. Beyond the temple, you'll discover a plethora of other attractions, including a view tower, a park, a children's play area, and much more. Adventure enthusiasts can indulge in activities like wall climbing, swings, free fall, and even horse riding, making it an ideal weekend getaway for friends and family alike.
A visit to Chandragiri Hills offers a harmonious blend of natural splendor and spiritual serenity. Whether you're a fervent traveler or a local seeking a memorable escape, this picturesque destination is well worth the journey. So pack your bags and embark on an unforgettable adventure to Chandragiri Hills for an experience of a lifetime!
