Overview
Hiking on Chandragiri Hill is one of the most fascinating recreations to escape the busiest lifestyle. The almost 3–4 hours of short hiking go away by entering the greenery forest of like a tunnel, which is just amazing and more thrilling even though steep uphill. The lush woodland is a habitat for deer animals, rare herbs, and many species of birds. The hike begins in the village of Machhegaun and moves ahead by following the winding paths in the dense forest of mostly pine trees, Shorea robusta, and rhododendrons. The wide stone staircase walks make it more exciting to move ahead through the tranquil atmosphere, along with the pleasing chirping sounds of birds.
Visitors come there to enjoy the holidays and weekdays with family, solo, and friends. Most people love to hike, but some prefer to reach there by cable car. There are a number of high-quality hotels on Chandragiri Hill because of booming tourist arrivals of all ages from national and international countries. Chandragiri Hill is that it can be reached from Kathmandu in a very short time to observe the snow-capped mountains like Mt. Everest, Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Langtang, Mt. Machhapuchhre, and many others. The surrounding panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley are quite interesting from the very top hill.
