Cable cab

It was a nice experience unfortunately it was misty. Krishna was a fantastic guide and he kept us informed and gave good advice.

Glimpse of Himalayas and Kathmandu

A glimpse of the Himalayas and beautiful views of Kathmandu despite the fog. Small hike was just what I needed too.

Great guide, tour

The best part about this tour was our guide. He was personable and flexible. He made sure we had a good time. The tour does not include the price for the cable car tickets—about USD$20 for round trip. At the top, there were clouds so we were not able to see as good as other days.

Response from the operator: Dear Ksresearcher, Warm Greetings from Himalayan Recreation! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Adventure Experience and learn about our services. Again, we would like to thank you for choosing us as your Nepal trekking tour partner, We are honored to have you as a client and are happy that you have become a friend. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest, and we look forward to assist you in the near future. With Regards Himalayan Recreation Family

Great tour, guide

I reviewed the one Viator review for this tour prior to booking. It had given the tour a 3/5 stars. My experience was 5/5. Our tour guide was flexible, responsive, and caring. He went out of the way to ensure we had a good experience. We were not able to see some good views--not because of the tour or guide, but just because of the weather. Again, our guide was excellent and flexible. 5/5.

Shame we had no view

We enjoyed the cable car ride however there was a thick mist on the day which was disappointing as we had no views to see. Up at the top there wasn’t a great deal to do. A temple and a cafe. On a good weather day it would have been excellent but we were not lucky. I understand that this place is where Kathmandu families like to come for a day out so it was interesting to see from that point of view

Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

How much does Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu cost?

+

Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

Is Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Chandragiri Hill Cable Car Tour with Hotel Transfers from Kathmandu start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

+

On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
