Davis Falls(Nepali: पाताले छाँगो) is a waterfall located at Pokhara in Kaski District, Nepal. An interesting aspect of the falls is that the water travels through a natural tunnel prior.[1]The water there comes from the Fewa Lake. It was named after Mrs Davi, a Swiss tourist in Nepal, who was swimming in the Fewa Lake.[2] The dam unexpectedly started to overflow and Davi’s husband helplessly looked on while the waters swept his wife down the waterfall. This version took place in the year 1961 and the body of Mrs Davi was never recovered.
