Day 01: Drive to Matatirtha, walk to Chandragiri Hills and walk to Chitlang, 5-6 hours.
Another 35 minutes' drive to Matatirtha; the point at which we begin the journey. The word "Matatirtha '' refers to the mother's abode. This beautiful place sees many tourists / travelers who lose their mothers on Mother's Day every year in April (Hindu Nepalese people celebrate Mother's Day on the first day of the month in April each year).The we start walking towards the Chandragiri Hills top (2729m) which is an old temple site but was a new tourist attraction recently with the introduction of the Cable car. The area is rich in wildflowers as it has lush tropical forests and flower beds. It is a 4-5 hour walk through the small hills, dense jungle, and Chhap Bhanjyang village (you may be lucky to find a local shop for a cup of tea / coffee here). a beautiful place with Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, restaurants, parking area, etc. on a clear day you can watch spectacular mountain views from east to west including Mt. Gaurishanker, Dorje Lakpa, Langtang mountain range, Manase, Ganesh Himal, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Mtalu Everest, Api, etc.
After enjoying lunch and the beauty of Chandragiri Hills, Himalayan views, we head straight for Chitlang. Chitlang is an ancient city that still has as much evidence as ancient temples, elaborate restrooms, stone taps, etc., proving that it was a civilized society in ancient times. There are other accommodations and Chitlang Village also offers you the opportunity to stay at home where you can connect and gain an understanding of rural life in Nepal. Historic sites such as Pauwa, Saat Dhara (seven water taps), Shiwalaya, and other ancient monuments give you extra pleasure while staying in Chitlang.
