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.

Pokhara has two different airports
Pokhara is served by more than one airport, and the international airport is not the same place as the older city airport. The name on your ticket or booking tells you which one you will use, so read it before you plan onward transport.
Do not assume a driver already knows your arrival point. Give the exact airport name and, if possible, the terminal shown on your booking.
Arranging transport from arrivals
Ground transport is arranged at the airport itself, and the options change with the hour and the number of arriving flights. Ask what is available when you land rather than relying on an old price from a blog or a hotel sheet.
- Tell the driver you are going to Devi’s Fall in Chhorepatan, H10, Pokhara 33700.
- Show the pin 28.1895642, 83.9586637 or the place name Devi’s Fall Pokhara so the destination is unambiguous.
- Agree the fare and the payment method before the vehicle moves.
- Confirm whether the price covers luggage and waiting time.
Luggage and drop-off
If you arrive with bags, ask the driver to confirm where the vehicle can stop near the site. A map pin shows a location, not a guaranteed parking bay or an open gate, so treat the drop-off point as something to settle with the driver.
You may prefer to leave luggage at your accommodation first if you are not travelling directly.
What cannot be promised
No journey time or fare is stated here because neither has been verified. Ask at the airport counter or your accommodation for current local information.
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. Call ahead or ask locally before you commit to the trip with luggage.
Short answers
Which airport should I tell the driver?+
Give the exact airport name and terminal from your booking, because Pokhara has more than one airport and they are different places.
Can I take a taxi straight to the fall?+
You can arrange transport to the Chhorepatan pin, but confirm access on the day. A ride to the area does not guarantee that the site is open or admitting visitors.
How long is the drive?+
No specific journey time is verified here. Traffic, your starting point and the chosen route all change it, so ask your driver for a realistic estimate.
More about the fall
From Lakeside to the waterfall
Lakeside is the area most visitors stay in, and the waterfall in Chhorepatan is a short onward trip from it. This page sets out how to plan that journey without relying on unverified routes, fares or timings.

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.
→
Finding the waterfall from within Chhorepatan
If you are staying or arriving in Chhorepatan, you are already next to the waterfall area, so the main tasks are locating the correct entrance and confirming that access is open. Ask locally rather than assuming the route from the map pin.
→
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.
