Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, Religious cave system in Pokhara, Nepal

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave extends for 2950 meters underground with limestone formations, stalactites, and stalagmites throughout its passages. The cave contains numerous corridors of varying size structured across multiple levels.

Local inhabitants have maintained this site as sacred through generations, with evidence of religious practices from ancient Hindu settlements. The cave witnessed centuries of spiritual worship by the local community.

The temple inside serves as a worship space for devotees who come to pay respect at the naturally formed Lingam. The rock formations and natural silence within create a setting that has long been used for spiritual practice.

The descent involves multiple metal staircases and navigating through narrow passages, with some sections requiring you to bend down and walk carefully. Good footwear and a flashlight are essential, as the cave is dark and the ground can be wet and slippery.

The cave system connects directly to the base of Devi's Fall, where visitors can observe the waterfall's final plunge from an underground vantage point. This creates a rare experience of seeing the waterfall from the inside looking out.
