Kathmandu Half-Day Tour: Chandragiri Cable Car & Swayambhunath

If you have a free preparation day in Kathmandu before your Everest Base Camp trek, why not use it to see a little of the city? Trekkers often arrive one day before their Lukla flight, as flights are scheduled early in the morning. This private half-day tour gives you time to visit Chandragiri Hills and Swayambhunath while keeping the rest of the day free for trek preparation and rest. Take the cable car to Chandragiri Hills for views across Kathmandu Valley and, on a clear day, the Himalayan ranges. Visit Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple and enjoy some time on the hilltop before continuing to Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple. Explore the historic stupa, prayer wheels and surrounding temples, and enjoy the view over Kathmandu. Your private vehicle, driver, fuel, parking and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. This is a practical option for travelers with limited time, a free morning before a trek, or a late-night flight.
