Chandragiri Day Hiking

As per Hindu Mythology, this is believed to be the place where SatiDevi’s forehead fell off her body when lord Mahadev carried her dead body, and also it is believed that because of the blessing of Ichhyashwor Mahadev, King Prithvi Narayan Shah was successful in taking over the Kathmandu Valley.

The view tower, the playground for children, and Bhaleshwor Temple are the major attractions of the site. The newly opened cable car on the hill might be another attraction. The hiking route shortened because of the cable car. However, you can choose to ascend by walking and descend by the cable car. The journey takes you to the varieties of the settlements of different ethnic people. You can hike past the Newar, Brahmin, Chhetri, Tamang, and Sudra castes of people’s settlements. This is probably the only hiking trail in Nepal wherein a short period of time you can observe the plethora of the multi-ethnic community settlements.

The hill is also very popular among hikers. The Mata tirtha – Chandragiri – Thankot hiking route is the popular hiking trail around Kathmandu Valley. Nearby Chandragiri there is a beautiful village of ChitLang in Makwanpur district of Nepal.
