One such cave, the Mahendra, is the most popular cave in the country. Mahendra Cave rests at the bottom of a lush green hill. It was discovered in the 1950’s by Pokhara’s shepherds and is a rare example of a cave system located in Nepal that is adorned with stalagmites and stalactites. It is filled with limestone the causes electrical sparks as it continuously falls to the ground. The canal inside is completely dark so artificial lighting has been added in order for guests to take in the amazing site. Deep inside, a statue of Lord Shiva greets visitors.
Another breathtaking site it the Gupteswor Mahadev Gupha. The entrance to this sacred cave is found directly across from Devi’s Fall. With a length estimated at 3 kilometers long, the cave wows visitors with terrain that fluctuates from large hall-sized rooms to narrow passages requiring cavers to get on their hands and knees in order to crawl through. Decades ago, a natural formed idol-like object that resembled Lord Shiva was found deep inside the cave. In the early 1990’s the residents of Pokhara formally consecrated the object and moved it to at temple at the mouth of the cave. Today, guests can stroll down long flights of stairs to visit the temple.
