A sacred cave that houses a Shiva Temple, the Gupteshwar Gufa is an experience by itself. Although dark and dingy, the caves are beautiful from inside and offer amazing views of the nearby waterfall. The Shivalinga inside the cave is said to bein the same condition since it was explored. This shrine is said to have certain healing powers which attracts a number of visitors throughout the year.

• The walkway down to the caves is dark and slippery so it is better to wear shoes which have good grips.
• There are many stairs in the cave that might not be easy for disabled people, elderly and young kids to climb.
• Flash Photography is not allowed inside the temple.

• The standard ticket only covers the temple, but you can buy a ticket of Nepali Rupees 100 to clamber through a low tunnel behind the shrine, emerging in a damp cavern behind the thundering waters of Devi’s Falls.

• It’s best to hire a cab to get to this attraction.

• Peace Dragon lodge and Restaurant
