Chandragiri Hill is located in the southwest of Kathmandu Valley in a place called Thankot. This beautiful place is 16 kilometers away from the valley which will take you approximately 30 minutes to reach there on a drive. The hill is 2551 meters from the sea level. Breath taking views of soaring peaks and the whole kathmandu valley makes Chandragiri a lucious place to spend a day. Panoramic view of Kathmandu  roofed from Everest to Annapurna makes anybody wonder what the whole Nepal looks like from a hill top.

Chandragiri Hills carry a historical significance. It is said that King Prithivi Narayan Shah the Annexer of Nepal saw the beautiful kathmandu valley from its top. It was then when he realised inorder to build a prosperous nation he had to expropriate this beautiful city. Iegends claim Prithivi Narayan Shah meditated in these hills to summon the spiritual powers for unifying Nepal.

The cable car project introduced by Chandragiri Hills Pvt. Ltd has made the top of the hill more accessible like never before. The base of this  cable car project is around 2.5 Kilometeres from Godam. A cable cab will take you to the top in 9 minutes.
