Milarepa Cave, Gandaki, Buddhist meditation cave near Braka village, Nepal

The Milarepa Cave sits on a cliff face at 4,100 meters elevation, featuring a monastery and sacred spring within the Annapurna mountain range.

During the 11th century, Tibetan Buddhist master Milarepa used this cave as his meditation residence while spreading Buddhist teachings in northern Nepal.

The cave contains rock impressions attributed to Milarepa's meditation sessions, making it an important pilgrimage site for Buddhist practitioners from Nepal and Tibet.

Visitors need to complete a three-hour uphill hike from Braka village to reach the cave, which requires good physical condition and proper hiking equipment.

Local stories tell of a hunter's bow suspended from nearby cliffs, marking the spot where Kera Gompa Dorjee attempted to challenge Milarepa's teachings.
