Chandragiri Cable Car and Monkey Temple Tour

Glide up to the Chandragiri hilltop by cable car for a sweeping panorama of the Kathmandu valley and, on clear days, a long line of Himalayan peaks including Everest. At the top there is the Bhaleshwor temple, gardens and viewpoints, and the trip pairs the ride with a visit to Swayambhunath, the hilltop Monkey Temple. Skip-the-line and private or group options are available. Go on a bright morning before cloud builds, and wrap up warm as the summit is noticeably cooler.
