You'll find Gupteshwor Cave right next to Devi's Fall, about 2 kilometers south of Pokhara's main tourist area around Lakeside. Most people take a taxi-should cost around 300-500 rupees from Lakeside. Others rent a bicycle. Walking takes 30 minutes from the main tourist strip. Just follow the signs to Devi's Fall and you can't miss it. Local buses run this route frequently, though they're quite crowded.
