August 9: Chandragiri cable car at Thankot made ‘soft launch’ by providing free cable car service to the locals on August 8. Thousands of locals from Chandragiri, Thankot, Chitlang, Chakhel and Kathmandu came to visit cable car and to worship Bhaleshower (Icchapuresoram). The temple is situated at the height of 2,500 meter.

“Without making grand opening, the company provided free cable car service to the locals,” said Ambika Prasad Paudel, Director of Kathmandu Fun Park.

Opened from 9 am in the morning, enthusiastic crowd were seen till 5pm. Though the cable car work has finished, however, some work is still remaining to complete the restaurants at the hill. “We are planning for a grand opening in the fourth week of August as some works are still remaining,” informed Paudel. The company has set the price of entry ticket at Rs 700 per person.

The cable car service was supposed to operate from the last year September. “The earthquake and blockade of last year elongated the time,” said Paudel. Kathmandu Fun Park plans to develop the site into an integrated entertainment place by adding attractions like a boutique hotel, a mini-amusement park, rock-climbing, zip flying, paragliding, a 6D theatre and a botanical garden, as well as branded shops.

The five star level artistic boutique hotel will be operating constructed at the investment of Rs 1 billion. Built using technology and expertise from one of the world’s top cable car building companies, Doppelmayr of Austria, Chandragiri cable car was constructed at the investment of Rs 3.25 billion.
