Inside the gorge
Wade through the gorge
Walk upstream in the cold stream between rock walls that rise high above you and nearly close overhead in places. The whole cave is about 600 m long.
Find the vanishing stream
In a few places the water sinks into the gravel and comes back up a short way ahead. Locals say this is where the name Guchhupani, 'hidden water', comes from.
Rest at the waterfall
The gorge ends at a small waterfall of about 10 m. Sit on the rocks, cool off and look for a rainbow in the spray on sunny days.
See the old wall
The ruins of a fort-like wall divide the cave into two parts, part of the stories of robbers hiding here.
Around the cave
Picnic by the stream
The open stretch near the entrance is a popular spot to sit, snack and dry off after the walk.
Photograph the light
Late morning sun falls into the gorge in narrow shafts, lighting up the water and the rock.
Safety in the gorge
- Walk out at once if the water rises, gets muddy or louder; rain upstream reaches the gorge in minutes.
- Do not climb the walls or stand on loose boulders for photos.
- Keep children within reach; some spots are deeper than they look.
- Follow any closure or warning from the staff and the administration.
