Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is a revered Hindu pilgrimage site featuring a large stalagmite that is worshipped as a Shiva lingam. The cave is dimly lit and extends deep into the hill, with narrow passages and chambers. Visitors can explore the cave's interior, where the air is cool and damp, and see the lingam illuminated by oil lamps. The cave is distinctive for its religious significance and its proximity to Davis Falls, with a tunnel connecting the two attractions.
