Climbing back to ground level was no fun at all
Most of the inside part of the Gupteshwar Mahadev cave in Pokhara, Nepal is made up of deposition of calcium carbonate dissolved from surrounding limestone, with ground water which is a general concept of forming most of the cave. Many species of bats inside the cave are also an attraction for visitors. It is located right across the street from the David's Falls (see previous pictures earlier in this album). Sadly, one is unable to appreciate the natural side of the cave as, in keeping with the foul habit of people in India and Nepal, the locals have converted the natural cave into a temple. This means unnecessary rituals, incense, camphor and smoke, incessant crowds constantly pouring in and out of the cave and photography restrictions. No full at all. Pissed enough as it is, I was finding it inconvenient to climb up these steep sets of stairs as well. My guide tries to snap me huffing and puffing my way up. (Pokhara, Nepal, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
