This dada is also a religious place as here stands one of the tallest statues of Lord Shiva. You will see a lot of pilgrims visiting this place to worship Lord Shiva.
Heading towards Davi's Falls
Davi' Falls is a beautiful waterfall from where the water falls under the Pokhara Valley. The best of this waterfall can be witnessed at the peak of the monsoon. In the monsoon season, you can witness the roar of the water splashing in the rock and disappearing down the underground tunnel. However, it is also dangerous if you go too close to the waterfall. Therefore, we suggest you stay a little far away while enjoying the beauty of Davi's falls.
