Guide to Chitlang (Way to Chitlang)
(last updated :2017/04/13 5:07 pm)
You heard
about Chitlang and now you are really interested to visit Chitlang.But you don’t
know how to get to Chitlang.You surf on the net and found tour operators
getting you there .But see those hefty fees they are charging .Don’t worry this post will guide you to Chitlang ..I am just guiding you the way,the cheapest ,most easiest way for your
help.
So,lets get started.
1.Let us start from Thamel ,located at central Kathmandu which is known to most of us , please follow the route.First of all arrive at Kathmandu Old
buspark.You can just search in google maps how to get to Old buspark (In
Nepali it’s purano Buspark).Its quite easy way,get to Ratnapark and you are there.
2.Kathmandu Buspark is not that far
from Thamel and can be reached within 20 minutes or even faster on foot.If you
take taxi, its about 10 minutes drive .
3.When you are in Old buspark,find
the queue of buses going to Thankot,Ask if it goes
to Godam.Its better if you catch the bus to Godam because it’s
the place where your journey for Chitlang actually begins.Also the cable car to Bhalewsor (Chandragiri) is also available from Godam.If you take the bus to Thankot,walk for about 15 minutes to your south and you are in Godam.I
advise you to be seated comfortably on bus as its almost more than 8 km to
Godam.The bus fare is around Rs 20 as of this date per person.Please ask the
conductor of bus to get you off at Godam,its not that difficult to reach Godam.If you don't get the bus to Godam,catch the bus to Thankot and from there walk to Godam which is about 15 minutes to South .
4.After you reach Godam, look for the jeeps or mini bus in que.Ask the locals if you don't see as sometimes there won't be any vehicle and you need to wait for the vehicle.If you are in jeep,be seated comfortably as its difficult and rough road ride for more than one hour.
Update :Please note that for the purpose of road maintainence the transportation to Chitlang is through Godam - Chnadragiri - Chitlang is not proper.However the regular transportaion has started from Godam - Matatirtha - Chakhel - Chitlang route.
(Updated 2073/12/31 )
Alternative route includes getting to going to Chnadragiri on Cable car and trekking down,or you can catch tata sumo from Balkhu to Markhu,Kulekhani and hike from there.Also you can get the vehicle from Kalanki(opposite of Baba pump) going to Kulekhani and hike north to Chitlang from Markhu for about one hour).

Then it stops only at village.Now
you are in Chitlang.
