Description
What appears to be a river cave (note 1), allegedly a few hundred metres long and taking most of the river Seti (Seti Gandaki), is mentioned in a rafting and kayaking guidebook (note 2): The current ripped and tore its way into a small cleft with a loud roar and disappeared underground. The river emerged a few hundred metres downstream, but at a lower level. It appeared, that in high water, all the flow wouldn't make it down the sump and the river backed up and formed a lake, whirlpool, and waterfall (KNOWLES & ALLARDICE 1992: 122). SITUATION: Near a small temple [dedicated] to Shiva, the goddess [sic!] of destruction [sic!] and at an unspecified distance north-east (more likely: north or north-west) of Kotre (note 3) and at a distance of 16 km (along the road to Kathmandu or along the river?) downstream (south-west) of Pokhara: Approximately 4 or 5 km in a direct line south of Gagangouda (N28°07'30”: E84°05'00” Central Service Map).What appears to be a river cave (note 1), allegedly a few hundred metres long and taking most of the river Seti (Seti Gandaki), is mentioned in a rafting and kayaking guidebook (note 2): The current ripped and tore its way into a small cleft with a loud roar and disappeared underground.
