Davis Falls, Natural waterfall in Pokhara, Nepal

The waterfall plunges from 500 feet above ground level through a natural tunnel, descending 100 feet below the surface into Gupteshwor Cave.

The waterfall received its English name after a Swiss tourist named Davis who disappeared in the waters while swimming in Phewa Lake in 1961.

The traditional Nepali name Patale Chhango refers to the underground nature of the fall, which holds local spiritual importance for the residents.

The Chhorepatan High School manages the conservation of the waterfall site and maintains facilities for educational tours and recreational activities.

The water flows through a natural underground passage where the body of the Swiss tourist was never recovered, leading to tales of mystery.
