What this page answers
Self-drive visitors mostly need two answers: where to point the map, and whether a space will be available. This page covers the first and is honest about the second.
Quick facts
Road destination: the Thankot-side Bottom Station
Follow the operator's Route to the Hills guidance
Parking capacity, charges and road conditions are not verified here
Agree the return plan before going up
Choosing the destination in your map app
Use the operator's Route to the Hills page for the lower station. The Google Maps reference used by this site points to the upper station on Chandragiri Hill; it is a third-party location snapshot and not a verified car park, pickup point or ticket counter.
If a navigation app offers a hilltop road as a shortcut, treat it as unverified. The boarding sequence for road arrivals happens at the lower station, including ticket purchase and queues.
What to confirm about parking
- Whether parking is open and where it is located that day
- Any charge, time limit or same-day re-entry rule
- Road surface, diversions or seasonal restrictions on the approach
- How far the walk is to the ticket counter
Worth checking: This independent guide has not surveyed parking capacity or prices, and does not claim that a space is always available.
Before you leave the vehicle
Confirm the last descent and note where the return queue and your vehicle are. A self-drive day is more flexible than a bus day, but it still depends on the cable car's service window.
The operator suggests at least two to three hours on the hilltop, so allow for that plus the road journey in both directions rather than planning around the ride time alone.
Frequently asked questions
Is there parking at Chandragiri Top Station?
The hilltop Maps pin is not a verified parking location. Road visitors park on the lower station side; confirm current parking with the operator locally.
How much does parking cost?
Parking charges are not verified by this guide. Ask the operator or check the notice at the site on the day.
Can I drive up to the hilltop complex instead?
The operator describes the cable car as the link between the lower station and the hilltop complex. Plan to board at the lower station.
