Chitlang is located at Makawanpur district. It is about 22 KM from Kathmandu in the South West direction. Chitlang was only the way on foot to get to India and the Southern part of Nepal, before opening of Tribhuwan Highway. It is the same place, where first motor was carried by people to bring it on Kathmandu valley.
Many temples with amazing wood, stone carving, artistic rest houses, stone taps, and inscription of centuries long are the proof of the existence of civilized society in the past. The large green fields added attraction to Chitlang. There is a big garden with more than thousand pearl trees. It offers an amazing experience with the combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The hills of Chitlang offer one of the best short hiking/trekking around Kathmandu. The largest manmade lake of Nepal, Kulekhani (also known as Indrasarovar) is a short walk of 40 minutes from Chitlang.
