Located at the village of Pokhara is Gupteswor Mahadev Gufa (Harpan River Cave) "... one of the most Wonderful and Larges Cave of the South Asia". At least that is what the sign at the entrance tells.
The cave is a series of fairly big chambers, but there are low passages inbetween, which make it necessary to crawl. One passage leads 20m below the surface to the nearby river, right behind the famous tourist site Devi's fall. It is possible to see the falling water from behind.
The cave is sacred cave, a religious site for Hindu worshippers. There is a Shiva Lingam, a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva, we guess its a stalagmite. There are worships or festivals on several occasions through the year.
