You can discern major peaks like Everest, Langtang, and Ganesh Himal which really enhances the ride and viewpoint experience. The monsoon season (June to August), causes the hill to be covered in a blanket of fully green grass and fresh atmosphere with clouds and light mist all around.

It actually seems to be so calm and quiet that one can say the hill is breathing in another way. Although the visibility of mountains is not guaranteed, the surroundings at the same time get so peaceful and refreshing. Not to mention that winter has something very special to give as well - the chilly air and the sharply defined skies which make for some of the most spectacular mountain views.

Yet, the great thing about eating here is In reality you are in front of the Himalayan range, so even the simplest meal is made special by the great view and wonderful atmosphere. If for drinks and refreshments, you will not have any trouble finding tea coffee soft drinks, and small bites at the top. Besides, quite a few visitors sit at the café at the viewpoint and enjoy a hot cup of beverage while soaking in the beautiful scenery. All items are served either through self-service or waitstaff, so you basically have the option to decide as to what suits you the best.

As the trip is for just one day, the overnight stay is not a part of the package. But, there are hotels and resorts near the base of Chandragiri itself for those who want to make their trip longer and stay overnight.
