Devi's Fall - Pohkara

Patale Chhango is the site where a tributary of Seti River flowing out from Phewa Lake varnished into the earth. It is commonly known as Devi's Fall and the name was derived from a tragical legend saying that a foreign trekker (some said its a Swiss lady) named David while swimming in Pardi Khola River, the floodgates of the dam were accidentally opened and he was swept away by the flooding water into an underground passage beneath the fall, never to be seen again. The correct tales had been lost and nobody knows exactly which version of the story is true but the legend does add a touch of mystery to the sight.
