Davis fall & Guptshwor Cave:
Devi’s or David’s fall (Patalé Chango in Nepali) is a lovely waterfall in the city’s southern edge. Legends have it that a lady by the name was swept into the waterfall never to be discovered again. In early years since the waterfall began to attract visitors, the nearby area was sparsely populated and much of the waterfall site was unattended. In the recent years, the conservation efforts to protect the waterfall and its premises are underway. The latest facelift around the waterfall is a testimony of ongoing conservation initiative.
Although the waterfall is open to visitors throughout the year, the best time to visit is during the monsoon season when the floodgate of the Fewa lake barrage is opened to ease the water level. The rushing flow of water through the narrow moraine canyon into the deep ground hole forms a spectacular site.
The
all new look of the waterfall comes with a landscaped garden, a wishing
well, and a model Nepali countryside home perched on top of the
waterfall for visitors to sit and relax.
Just
across the highway from the Devi’s fall is the famous Gupteshwor cave.
This underground cavity is quite a fascinating occurrence for its close
proximity to the waterfall. What appears to be a narrow entrance to the
cave balloons up inside to form a first wide platform housing a temple
of lord Shiva. A further down the stairs and through a narrow passage
leads to the main cavity with high walls aligned closed to wet
stalagmites and stalactites. About 25 meters beyond this point is the
main drop zone of the Devi’s waterfall after sinking in the ground.
International Mountaineering Museum:
Sprawling
over 13 acres of idyllic lush green landscape the International
Mountain Museum is one of the must see while in Nepal. Established by
Nepal Mountaineering Association in early 2004 the museum was conceived
with an idea to work towards promoting the understanding of the
mountains, its people and culture, flora and fauna, and the proud
mountaineering history.
The
first section of the museum features the mountain peoples from Nepal
and other countries and their lifestyle portrayed through the clothes,
crafts, utensils and models. The second section has mountain rocks,
geological specimens and old and new posters on display. The last
section consists of the display of tools and equipment’s used by famous
mountaineers including Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Everest.
The
museum provides free tour guides and documentary shows throughout the
day. The Buddhist prayer room inside the main building also features
periodic worships by monks, an age old tradition of many ethnic groups
of Nepal’s Himalayas.
There
is a 31 feet model of Mt. Manaslu and a quad faced climbing wall for
outdoor indulgence. The cafe, souvenir shop, and resting sheds
overlooking the Annapurna range make IMM one of the most peaceful places
in Pokhara. IMM opens daily and occasionally hosts special
events.

Swayambhunath - The Self Born
Perched
on a hilltop on the south western part of Kathmandu, Swayambhunath, is
one of the most important religious and cultural sites in Nepal and is
associated with the birth of the Kathmandu Valley civilisation. When the
Valley was still an ancient lake, a predecessor of the historic
Siddartha Gautama Buddha planted the lotus seed here from which came the
light of Swayambhu, the “Self Born”. The Boddisattva Manjushree drained
the lake by cutting a gorge in the southern edge of the valley in a
place called Chobahar from which the Bagmati River flows out, south
bound, and established the Kathmandu Valley civilisation.
Patan Durbar square
This whole square is a cluster of fine pagoda temples and stone statues; it is at the same time the business hub of the city. At every step one comes across a piece of art or an image of a deity, testifying to the consummate skill of Patan's anonymous artists. The ancient palace of the Malla kings and the stone baths associated with various legends and episodes of history are especially interesting to visitors. The stone temple of Lord Krishna and the Royal Bath (Tushahity) with its intricate stone and bronze carvings are two other masterpieces in the same vicinity.
