    Wonderfull unforgettable trip

    We did a lot more than Ghorepani trekking and Katmandu valley. There were five of us and we all loved it! Shiva organized a wonderful itinerary, and he was very flexible in changing plans on the spot. His choice of food for us was excellent, I still have the taste of some foods in my mouth. Our trekking guide Bignot was outstanding, so supportive and caring! Any changes we wanted to make because we wanted to hike more, to spend more time in some locations were accommodated. All the sightseeing tours we took with local guides were excellent. Our experience in Chituan National Park were excellent, we saw a lot of rhinos very close. And Amari home stay was superb. Nepal is a very interesting, beautiful, friendly country. I highly recommend visiting Nepal using services of Nepal Lion tours!

    Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $299 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 Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour?

    +

    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 Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour 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 Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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.

    What is included in Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Round-trip private transfer (car/van); Both way Chandragiri Cable Car Tickets; Entrance fees to the heritage sites where applied; and Lunch at Chandragiri Hills. Not included: Food and Drinks; Gratuities; All personal expenses; and Tips not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Chandragiri Hills & Kathmandu Valley Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
