Amazing private tour with Guide Sajina Banjara to Chandragiri and Monkey Temple

Gary_C, Feb 2026

Amazing private tour with our driver and Guide Sajina Banjara. Sajina waa an awesome guide. She connected with us a few days before to confirm hotel pick up and itinerary. She also arranged a larger vehicle to make the tour more comfortable for our group of 4. They arrived early for pick up. Sajina shared some amazing knowledge about Nepal history and culture, as well as Kathmandu sights. The Chandragiri Cable ride was spectacular, amazing scenery from the top. The Monkey temple visit provided more great scenery and insights into Buddhist culture.

Perfect way to see Chandragiri and skip the queue. Punam was my guide and she did a great job with communication and explaining everything on the tour. Great views of the Himalayas too

Great cable car ride!!

Colin_G, Aug 2025

The view from the top of the cable is amazing, despite only seeing a little through the clouds. On a clear it would be breathtaking, I'm sure. The ride is worth the entrance fee alone though. The monkey temple was really good too.
