Historical Significance
Chandragiri hills carry historical significance as well. It was from these hills that King Prithivi Narayan Shah caught the first glimpse of a much scenic and prosperous Kathmandu valley, which in fact instilled in the king’s mind an idea of annexing the valley into his kingdom. According to folklore, Prithivi Narayan Shah is believed to have amassed spiritual powers for unification process after undergoing rigorous ‘sadhana’ or meditation at these very hills. The Gorkhali King disguised himself while ascending the hills in order to avoid being recognized by the Malla Kings of Kathmandu Valley.
In his ‘Divyopadesh’ (Divine Preaching), it has been mentioned that King Prithivi Narayan Shah was determined to first annex and then make Kathmandu the capital of unified Nepal. He apparently first saw the valley while on his way back to his kingdom in Gorkha from his in-law’s realm in Makwanpur. Astrologers Bhanu Aryal and Kulananda Dhakal who accompanied the king during that trip had made a prediction that their king’s wish to takeover Kathmandu would definitely come true. As per popular belief, pleased with his perseverance and Sadhana, it was Bhaleshwor Mahadev that granted King Prithivi Narayan Shah his wishes. 240 minutes

I booked everything online a week or so in advance. I was contacted a few days prior to confirm pick up location by Bishnu Bhatta which made me feel at ease. When I arrived I got a SIM card (under 4 dollars for a sim with plenty of data, you can buy at the airport or anywhere on the street) and then I let Bishnu know my number in case he needed to call me via trip advisor messaging. The night before he re confirmed everything about what was included and not included in the tour I choose which was all clearly stated online. That morning I was picked up on time and brought to Chandragiri Hill to enjoy the cable car. My driver waited for me while I took the cable car up into the clouds and then above the clouds to the top. Being the rainy season I wasn’t expecting to see the Himalayan Ranges, the cable car was fun and had lovely views. There were a few bars at the top, a temple and a few restaurants, also a view point with binoculars. I was surprised that I did get to see the Ganush Himal Range off in the distance. I then got some vegetable pakoras and a hot lemon honey drink before heading back down. On the way down I messaged my driver and told him I would be there at the entrance in 15 minutes. The driver met me exactly where I got dropped off and then took me back to my Air BnB. Very polite and a safe driver. This tour I was on my own, so you get to experience it at your own pace. It was nice to have the transportation arranged.
If you are the type of traveller who likes things pre arranged and booked then this was a good option. I do feel though that you could book your own taxi and go yourself if you are more of a spontaneous traveller for a lot cheaper, as the tour does not include the ticket price or meals (all stated online).
Overall a great experience!
