During summer and rainy season, the waterfall takes its real form, with gushing water splashing and making its way through the rocks. It is an area that is known for its beauty and tranquility, and Devis Falls adds a touch of mystery and adventure to this sight. One of the versions of the saying is that a person named Devis was swept away suddenly by the water and carried down into the underground passages and caves that run below the waterfall and was never recovered.
Just opposite of Devi/’s fall, on the other side of the road, there is Gupteshwor Cave. After Devi/’s fall visit we/’ll move to this popular cave for the different natural forms made from limestone deposits. Here, in this cave photography is strictly prohibited inside.

Swayambhunath/’s historical origin found on a stone inscription gives evidence that the stupa was already an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination since the very early time of the 5th century AD. The entire structure of the stupa is deeply symbolic: the white dome represents the earth, while the 13-tiered, tower-like structure at the top symbolizes the 13 stages to nirvana. The nose-like squiggle below the piercing eyes is actually the Nepali number ek (one), signifying unity, and above is a third eye signifying the all-seeing insight of the Buddha. It was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Monument List in 1979. Swayambhunath stupa is also called the `Monkey Temple/’ as hundreds of monkeys scamper about the temple at night after the pilgrims and priests have departed from their respective places.
