Devi’s Fall

Locally known as Patale Chhango which means underground falls, Devi’s Fall is a popular landmark in Pokhara. A rather unusual fall, this natural phenomenon marks the point where the Pardi Khola stream vanishes underground all of a sudden! During the monsoon season, one can clearly hear the thundering sound of water splashing against the rocks of the gorge underneath. The association of a legend of a drowned Swiss couple adds more mystic charm to the fall. Named David, that unfortunate traveller tumbled into the sinkhole taking his female partner down with him. Many believe that the fall was originally called David’s fall which got a local reference and became Devi’s Fall!
