OVERVIEW

Embark on this long 2-day journey to Chitlang Markhu Lake for a short drive to Matatirtha, the famous Hindu temple. As soon as we got there, the first climb of the mountains was to the top of Chandragiri Hill at the top. The hill itself offers spectacular views of the Kathmandu Valley and the Himalayan giants from Gauri Shankar to Annapurna. Chandragiri hill has recently become a popular tourist destination due to the introduction of cable cars. The next stop for this trip is Chitlang, an ancient Newari area in the Makwanpur region. The various monuments of art, the pagoda roof and the unique craftsmanship surrounding the area provide an attractive attraction. Then we continued on our way all the way to Kulekhani day on the second day. The area is famous for Indrasarovar, the largest lake ever built near Kathmandu. Boating and fishing as a profession have attracted tourists here for years. After this, we returned to Kathmandu.
