Overview
Devi's Falls (Patale Chhango) is a unique waterfall where water from Phewa Lake plunges about 30m into a subterranean cave. It's named after Devi, a Swiss traveler who disappeared here in 1961. During the monsoon (July-September), the volume creates a thundering display of mist and spray; in the dry season, the cave structure is more visible. It pairs naturally with a visit to Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave directly across the road. Admission NPR 50. About 10 minutes by taxi from Lakeside.
Opening Hours
Daily 08:00-18:00
Travel Tips
Visit Gupteshwor Cave across the road to see the falls from inside the cavern. The monsoon brings the most dramatic flow, but watch your footing on wet surfaces.
