Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave
Gupteshwor Mahadev Gufa
A cave across the road from Davis Falls. The upper level houses a naturally formed Shiva lingam, and the lower level brings you close to where the waterfall drops from the roof into an underground river.
The cave entrance is across the road from Davis Falls. Spiral steps lead down into the cave, passing a Hindu shrine that houses a naturally formed Shiva lingam stone (photography is prohibited). Then slippery passages lead to the depths of the cave, where gaps in the rock let you see Davis Falls pouring into the cave, its roar deafening. Admission is about 100 rupees. The final section is sometimes closed late in the monsoon season. The cave is humid and stuffy, so wear non-slip shoes.
Opening hours
