Patale Chhango or Hell’s Falls in Pokhara has accumulated many different names over the years. It is also known as Devi’s Falls, David’s Falls, Devin Falls and Devis Falls. The name might take on different forms, but the sight remains the same. It is an area that is known for its beauty and tranquillity, and the legend of the Devis Falls adds a touch of mystery and adventure to this sight. The water that feeds the Devis Falls comes from the Fewa Lake, which follows a rocky stream and then rushes down to the waterfall. The water ultimately disappears after hide-and-seek for 5 long kilometres.
The cave is said to be have been discovered in the 16th century. The main cave entrance was not constructed until 1991. The main cave contains two chambers with several shrines located throughout. The largest of these shrines is dedicated to Shiva.There is lighting but it's only a series of small light bulbs. While primarily a religious site, the cow is a statue over a Shiva lingam. It's being developed as a tourist attraction these days. Continuing on the 40 or so meters down the cave passing other small statues and shrines you'll come across the main Shiva temple which has a strict rule about no photography. Continue on past the temple to the second part of the cave which is about 140 meters in length. Here the walls open up and you can see some nice colors in the cave walls. Further again and you'll come across a metal staircase leading downwards. You'll hear the waterfall ahead from here. Once you have descended the staircase you will have to walk across some uneven rocky ground until you get to an area with a view of the waterfall.
