Devi's Falls (Patale
Chhango)
Pokhara is the only city in Nepal which is
famous for water falls. As we drive by the river
sides below the hills we can see several
beautiful and dashing water falls flowing
downhill and finally flowing to the rivers. The
highway to Baglung consist of several water
falls. The city itself has a beautiful waterfall
within itself and it is known as Davis Fall (In
Nepali: Patale chango) This is
a breath taking view of Davis Fall in Chorrepatan.
Chorrepatan is famous for this water fall and there is also
a cave just two minutes walk from this fall. The water
flowing in this fall comes from Fewa lake and the fall is
worth visiting during the rainy seasons as it possesses its
maximum velocity. This snap also features
Devi's Fall during the Winter season. During winter there is
a mass decrease in the water volume of the Fewa Lake hence
the Dam is closed to maintain the water volume within the
Fewa Lake. This causes the Davis Fall in maximum decrement
in its water volume. The corresponding snap features the
rock formation made by the high velocity of the water
flowing within it.
Pokhara is famous for mountains. But this is not only the
thing that has made Pokhara popular. Davis fall is also one
of the main tourist attraction center here in Pokhara. Davis
fall is open every day of the week for the visitors. The
ticket cost is very cheap and it is worth visiting.
This snap features the Davis fall during the rainy season.
The excess water in Fewa lake needs to be drained hence the
dam is open during summer and this makes Davis fall much
more vigrous. Davis fall is worth visiting during the rainy
and summer seasons. This high velocity of water has created
different type of rock formation as shown in the above snap
