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 one of the best outings i have reserved through klook. even though unfortunately we weren’t able to see mount everest view due to fog, the tour guide we had was a gem and very well sponen, informing us of all the history and his opinions on things, we went as two and his insights kept us wanting to know more, worth it it would have been the best conclusion if there wasnt any fog

The tour guide is a very friendly and kind big brother figure. We had pleasant conversations during the drive. He also gave detailed introductions to Nepal’s history and culture, and thoughtfully helped group members take photos.
