Devi's Fall (Patale Chhango),Nepal

• Devi's Fall (the surface waterfall and chasm)
• Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave (a cave and temple complex directly opposite the fall)
• Viewing platforms and terraces with close-up views of the plunge
• Phewa Lake and Lakeside area (often paired with a visit to the fall)
• Local souvenir and snack stalls near the parking/viewpoint area

• A dramatic underground plunge — the water disappears into a carved, circular chasm
• Roaring, thunder-like sound as the fall hits the subterranean pool
• Gupteshwor Cave's limestone formations (stalactites and stalagmites) and a shrine to Lord Shiva
• Photogenic viewpoint combinations: waterfall + cave entrance + surrounding valley
• Seasonal variation: much higher volume during monsoon, clearer views in dry seasons

• Walk the short path to the viewing platforms to watch the waterfall and feel the spray
• Enter and explore Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and visit the Shiva shrine
• Combine with boating on Phewa Lake or a short Lakeside visit
• Photography at the viewpoints and of the cave interior
• Buy local handicrafts, snacks, and refreshments from nearby stalls

Best time: October–November and March–May for clear skies and comfortable weather. Monsoon (June–August) brings the most powerful flow and dramatic sight but also slippery paths and limited visibility.

Mild, temperate climate in Pokhara: daytime temperatures commonly range from about 10–30°C across seasons. Heavy rain and humid conditions during monsoon (June–August).

Devi's Fall is a short drive from Pokhara's popular Lakeside area (short taxi, tuk-tuk, or local bus ride). Visitors usually reach it by taxi, rented motorcycle/scooter, or organized tour. Pokhara is connected to Kathmandu and other cities by bus and air services (Pokhara Airport serves the region). The path includes steps and can be slippery — limited wheelchair accessibility.

Plan 1–2 hours for Devi's Fall + Gupteshwor Cave; allow half a day if you combine with Phewa Lake boating or Lakeside time.

Wear non-slip shoes, carry a light rain jacket or poncho in monsoon season, and modest clothing if visiting the temple area. Bring a waterproof bag for cameras/phones because of spray.

Nearby Lakeside offers momos, dal bhat, Newari and Thakali dishes, cafés, and bakeries. Souvenirs include handicrafts, prayer flags, pashmina/scarves, and Tibetan-style items; many small stalls sell postcards and inexpensive keepsakes.
