You are already close
The fall sits in Chhorepatan on H10, so from most points in the area it is a short walk or a very short ride. You do not need to cross the city.
Even so, proximity does not mean open access; check the entrance before you walk over.
Finding the entrance on H10
The map marks a place point rather than a gate, so use it to orient yourself and then look for the actual entrance on H10.
- Use the place name Devi’s Fall Pokhara to orient the map.
- Look for the entrance on H10 in Chhorepatan 33700.
- Ask a local shop or your host which side of the road the entrance is on.
- Do not confuse the fall entrance with the cave entrance.
Local orientation and timing
Morning is often the calmer time to walk in this area, but that is a general observation rather than a fixed rule. Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is a separate destination with its own access, so treat it as its own stop.
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. Confirm the entrance is in use before you set off.

Getting to the fall from Pokhara’s airport
Arriving by air to Devi’s Fall means two separate steps: confirm which Pokhara airport you land at, then arrange ground transport to the waterfall pin in Chhorepatan. Onward access still has to be checked on the day.

Reaching the fall from Damside
Damside and Chhorepatan sit on different sides of Pokhara, so the trip is a cross-city ride rather than a short walk. Confirm the direction, agree the pickup and fare, and settle how you will return before you set out.

Taking public transport to the fall
Public buses and shared vehicles in Pokhara serve local routes rather than a single visitor stop, so reaching Devi’s Fall by public transport means checking the current service rather than following an old timetable.
