Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, Pokhara- Nepal

Pokhara is a tourist paradise of Nepal. It is approx 200 kms west of Kathmandu and lies in Gandaki zone. It is easily accessible by road and flight from Kathmandu.
The Seti Gandaki or the white river is the main river flowing through the city, which with it’s tributaries at many places has created several gorges and canyons in and around the city.
The porous underground of Pokhara valley favours formation of caves and one can find many caves , most famous being under Patale chango (Hell’s Falls) , also popularly known as Devis falls.
On the other hand, right across the road, one can find other aspect of the fall – a long and one of the deepest caves of the region – Gupteshwor Mahadev cave.

We covered it as a part of our day’s tour in pokhara.
It is an open area with long rounded steps from ticket window leading to the main cave.
As we enter the cave , Kamdhenu mukh (Holy Cow) is there. Then we moved ahead within the cave and found the main temple of Shivling within the cave.
