Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, Religious cave system in Pokhara, Nepal

The Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave extends for 2950 meters underground, featuring natural limestone formations, including stalactites and stalagmites throughout its passages.

Local inhabitants have maintained this cave as a sacred site through generations, with evidence of religious practices dating back to ancient Hindu settlements.

Hindu devotees regularly visit the cave temple to worship at the naturally formed Shiva Lingam, created by mineral deposits over thousands of years.

Visitors need to descend multiple metal staircases and navigate through narrow passages, with some sections requiring walking through spaces only 4 feet high.

The cave system connects directly to the base of Devi's Fall, allowing visitors to observe the waterfall's final plunge from an underground vantage point.
