Davis Falls
Patale Chhango
Phewa Lake's outflow plunges here into a deep underground shaft. Locally called Hell's Falls, it is named after a Swiss tourist who fell in 1961.
The falls lie south of Pokhara city, where the outflow of Phewa Lake rushes into a limestone shaft about 30 meters deep. The water then flows underground to Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave on the opposite side of the road. The site is small, with a railed viewing platform and a small park. A visit takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Admission is about 100 rupees, subject to change on site. The roar of the water is most dramatic in monsoon season, while the flow drops noticeably in the dry season. It can be visited together with Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave across the road.
