Review for: Chandragiri Cable Car & Monkey Temple Tour without Tickets

We really had a lovely day with our amazing guide Nilakantha! He explained the history and religious significance of every area that we visited which helped us feel more connected to the places and people we met along the way. The highlight for me was going on a rooftop where had almost 360 view of Kathmandu Valley against the backdrop of the mountain ranges. It was a very memorable experience and I highly recommend this tour, worth the buck! Thank you again to our guide and the company 💕

Review for: Chandragiri Cable Car & Monkey Temple Tour with Tickets

Exploring Nepal with our wonderful tour guide, Nilakantha Acharya, was truly an memorable experience. We were fortunate to witness a beautiful ceremony at the Monkey Temple, a moment that felt both spiritual and deeply cultural. Although Mt. Everest remained elusive today, hidden behind the clouds, we were still treated to the breathtaking sight of Langtang Peak—standing proudly as part of the majestic Himalayan mountain range. Grateful for the memories, the views, and the stories that made this journey so special.

This was an awesome experience. The guide is great. We adore him because after this tour, he will go to the site where there's a massive flood and he will help in the rescue team. We want to commend the guide we had. I forgot his name, but thank you for this wonderful experience, despite the problem. I hope to see Nepal again. God bless.

It was my first time booking a tour, and I booked it just the day before—this app is definitely a go-to for instant tours. Of course, I really enjoyed the experience! The tour guide, Nilakantha Acharya, was very informative, approachable, and even a great photographer 😊 Highly recommended—the tour package and the entire tour guide team were excellent.

It was a great experience. Prakash was an amazing guide who explained everything well. He also gave us space to explore. As three female travellers, we felt safe and comfortable. Recommend to go in December to March, so you have a clearer view of Himalayan range.
