Chandragiri Hill (Nepal)

Chandragiri Hill (Nepali: चन्द्रागिरी) is a hill in Nepal on the south-west side of the Kathmandu Valley. Its peak is 2551 metres above sea level.[1] It is seven kilometres from Thankot and sixteen kilometers from Kathmandu. The Himalayas are visible from the hill, which make it attractive for tourism.[2] There is a cable car system to reach the temple of Bhaleshwor Mahadev on the top of the hill. Chandragiri is where Prithivi Narayan Shah decided to annex the cities of the valley.[3][4]
