Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the Lakeside area of Pokhara. Head south on the Siddhartha Highway (also known as the Pokhara-Baglung Highway) towards Chhorepatan.

For those using public transportation, you can take a local bus or a microbus from Lakeside to Chhorepatan. Buses frequently depart from the Lakeside bus station and cost around NPR 30-50. Inform the driver that you are going to Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave or Chhorepatan. Once you reach Chhorepatan, it's a short walk to the cave entrance, approximately 10 minutes. The cave is located directly opposite Devi's Fall, which is also a popular tourist spot.
