Sources checked: 26 October 2026
What kind of area it is
Chhorepatan sits in ward H10 of Pokhara, and the waterfall and Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave are both here, on opposite sides of each other. The address given for the fall is Chhorepatan, H10, Pokhara 33700.
Beyond the visitor sites it is an ordinary neighbourhood with homes, shops and traffic. Treat it as somewhere people live rather than only as a stop on a route.
Reference points to fix in your head
A few anchors make the area easier to read, and they also help you explain where you want to go.
- The waterfall pin 28.1895642, 83.9586637 is your main landmark.
- Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is a separate site on the other side of the fall.
- The Tashi Ling community is in the same part of the city, and Lakeside and Damside are different areas altogether.
- Plus code 5XQ5+HP2 can be pasted into a maps app if coordinates are hard to read out.
- Keep the place name Devi’s Fall Pokhara handy for drivers.
Services and connections to confirm
The area has everyday services such as shops and places to eat, but this page does not name them, because none has been verified and they change. Look for what is open when you are there.
Transport outward to Lakeside, Damside, the Peace Pagoda area and Pumdikot is arranged on the day. Ask at your accommodation or with a driver which connections are actually running.
Walking around respectfully
Walk on the road side of the pavement, keep your belongings close in traffic and respect gates, courtyards and doorways that are clearly private. Local people are going about their day, not posing for visitors.
When you are ready to see the fall itself, check its status first: Google Maps listed the waterfall as temporarily closed when checked on 26 October 2026. No current management confirmation of the reason, reopening date, hours or fee has been verified.

More about the fall
Damside as a base near the fall
Damside is a Pokhara neighbourhood that some visitors treat as a base or stopover when planning a Devi’s Fall visit in Chhorepatan. It keeps lodging, meals and onward transport in one area, and it connects with both Lakeside and Chhorepatan, though the details you rely on should be checked locally on the day.

The Tashi Ling community beside the waterfall
NTB places the Tashi Ling Tibetan community in the same part of the city as the fall and the cave. It is a place where people live, so visit it as a neighbourhood to be respected rather than a staged attraction.
→
Ending the day at Phewa Lake
Phewa Lake is a separate Pokhara attraction and a natural place to finish a day that began at the waterfall area. The lake drains into the water that feeds the fall, so the two are linked by water even though they are different destinations.
→
Continuing to the World Peace Pagoda
The World Peace Pagoda, also called the Shanti Stupa, is a hilltop religious site on the other side of the lake area from the waterfall. Continuing there means agreeing transport on the day and treating the stupa as a place of worship.
