Devi Falls

About 2 km (11/4 mi.) south of where Lake Phewa drains into the Pardi Khola the terrain drops sharply away and the river plunges over the Devi Falls, disappearing into a sink-hole. After about 200 m (651 ft) it re-emerges before flowing into the Phusre Khola. The falls are also known as David Falls, reputedly because someone of that name was sucked into the whirlpool and drowned. The falls swell considerably after the monsoon but are little more than a trickle in January.

This otherwise attractive spot is quite spoiled by litter and garbage, about which nobody seems much concerned. Because it is near Tashi Ling, one of the Tibetan settlements, there are usually one or two jewelry and souvenir sellers as well.
