Nearby Attractions
Supa Khola Waterfall
Just behind the temple, the Supa Khola river plunges down the cliffs creating a scenic waterfall. The sound of rushing water adds to the spiritual atmosphere, and visitors often descend the steps to view the falls up close. During monsoon, the waterfall is at its most impressive.
Suspension Bridge & Viewpoint
Approximately 200 meters southwest of the main shrine, a suspension footbridge spans a dramatic ravine. This bridge offers some of the best photo opportunities, with sweeping views of the temple valley and surrounding peaks. Many pilgrims pause here for photos and to take in the landscape.
Narpani Village & Cold Spring
Located about 2 kilometers downhill from the temple, Narpani village features a sacred cold spring where devotees traditionally take prasad (blessed water) after completing their temple darshan. The village also offers:
- Traditional Nepali village atmosphere
- Local teahouses and simple eateries
- Picnic spots with shade trees
- Interactions with friendly local residents
Kashyap Gupha (Cave)
A natural cave near the temple complex houses a statue and is considered sacred by pilgrims. Local legend associates it with sage Kashyap from Hindu mythology. The cave offers a cool retreat and another spot for quiet meditation.
Legendary Rock Formations
The cliffs around Supa Deurali feature several rock formations tied to local myths. Villagers point out stones said to be Sita's cooking stones from the Treta Yuga (Hindu mythological age), and of course the famous "Lahure stone" where the soldier was trapped by the goddess.
