Taxi and private car to Chandragiri
The important taxi decision is not the fare alone. It is whether the vehicle is still there when you come back down.

What this page answers
This page covers the practical terms of a road trip to the lower station. No fares or distances are published because this independent guide has not verified them.
Quick facts
Name the Thankot-side Bottom Station as the destination
Agree fare, waiting time and latest pickup before departure
No taxi or ride-hail prices are claimed here
The hilltop Maps pin is not a drop-off point
What to agree before leaving
- Whether the fare covers one-way drop-off, waiting, or a full return
- A clear latest pickup time at the lower station
- An exact meeting point for the return
- What happens if the cable car is suspended and you return early
Worth checking: Write down the vehicle details and driver contact. Mobile coverage and vehicle availability at the end of a hilltop visit should not be assumed.
Getting the destination right
Ask for the lower boarding station on the Thankot side and, if needed, show the operator's Route to the Hills page. A driver following the upper station Google Maps pin may head towards a hill location that is not the ticket counter.
The operator's cable car line, +977-9802069900, is the appropriate contact for service questions. It is not a booking line for this independent guide.
Timing the wait
A hilltop visit commonly includes the temple, a viewing area, photographs and possibly a meal, on top of the ride and queues. The operator suggests at least two to three hours on the hill, so a waiting arrangement should be based on that plus the road legs and a buffer.
Reconfirm the last descent before you ride up and pass any change to the driver. A general closing hour from a third-party listing is not a safe pickup time.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi to Chandragiri cable car?
This guide does not publish taxi fares because they are not independently verified. Agree a fare for the exact service you need before departure.
Should the taxi wait at the top or the bottom?
Road vehicles stay on the lower station side. Agree a waiting point and time at the Thankot-side boarding station.
Can a taxi drive to the Top Station?
No. The hilltop is reached by cable car from the lower station; the upper station Maps pin is not a verified driving destination.
