The Khokana and Bungamati Village Day Tour with Sunset at Chandragiri Hills is a perfect one-day trip from Kathmandu. This cultural tour offers a close look into traditional Newari life, local arts and crafts, and ends with stunning Himalayan views from the top of Chandragiri Hills. It is ideal for travelers looking to explore authentic village life, meet local people, and enjoy a peaceful sunset—all within a short drive from Kathmandu.
The tour begins with a scenic and magical drive from Kathmandu to Khokana, a small but culturally rich Newari village. Khokana is known for its quiet charm and for keeping its traditional lifestyle alive. You’ll walk through narrow stone-paved streets, where homes have wooden windows and locals gather in courtyards.
In Khokana, you will see local women weaving by hand, using old wooden looms. They sit in the sun, often with family members nearby, spinning cotton or wool yarn. This is not a show for tourists—it’s part of their daily life. Watching them work is a special moment, showing how traditional skills still matter today. The weaving process is slow but meaningful, and the women are often happy to answer questions or smile for a photo.
You will also learn about Khokana’s famous mustard oil production. Though machines are replacing many old techniques, some homes still use wooden presses to make oil during festival times. The smell of fresh mustard and oil in the air is unforgettable.
From Khokana, your tour continues to Bungamati, just a short drive away. This is another historic Newari village, believed to be the birthplace of Rato Machhindranath, the rain god worshipped throughout the Kathmandu Valley.
Bungamati is peaceful and beautiful. As you walk around, you’ll see traditional houses, open courtyards, and friendly locals. The village is also known for its skilled artisans, especially woodcarvers and metal workers. Many families have been practicing these crafts for generations.
You’ll visit small workshops where these artists create windows, statues, and carvings used in temples across Nepal. It’s a great place to buy souvenirs and support local talent. The vibe in Bungamati is welcoming, and many travelers find it one of the most authentic places they visit in Nepal.
After a day of culture and village life, the tour continues to Chandragiri Hills, one of the best spots to enjoy mountain views near Kathmandu. You’ll take a relaxing ride on the Chandragiri Cable Car, climbing through lush green hills to reach the top.
At the summit, you’ll find a peaceful space with fresh mountain air, a panoramic view of the Himalayas, and a clean, well-maintained area to relax. On a clear day, you can see Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, and even Mount Everest in the distance. The Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple adds a spiritual touch to the visit.
Enjoy tea or coffee from the hilltop cafés as the sun sets, coloring the sky and snow-capped mountains in golden light. This is a peaceful and inspiring way to end the day.
