Description
What was interpreted as a man made excavation (no.4) of rock shelter size possibly lies south of the entrance to the –>Kali Khola Cave 5 (Smart 1976) or Resurgence Cave 5 but looks from across the river, more promising than the resurgence (Smart, C M in: DURRANT et al. 1979: 23.8). SITUATION: North of Pokhara town and in the vicinity of the village of Battulechour (note 1), on the east [orographically left] bank of the Kali Khola which is easily forded at this point. It is by the large obvious bend in the river, immediately north of [what had been in September / October 1976] a flimsy bridge and close to a series of steps cut into the west bank. It is a favourite place for locals to make their ingenious wickerwork fish traps (Smart, C M in: DURRANT et al. 1979: 23.8).What was interpreted as a man made excavation (no.4) of rock shelter size possibly lies south of the entrance to the –>Kali Khola Cave 5 (Smart 1976) or Resurgence Cave 5 but looks from across the river, more promising than the resurgence (Smart, C M in: DURRANT et al. 1979: 23.8).
