The road from Kathmandu eases into green ridgelines and the Trishuli River’s voice grows louder until Bandipur appears—a low, compact town perched above the highway. From the bazaar you climb: a dirt throat that turns to rock stairs, ropes and narrow switchbacks. Rain will make the path slick; sun will bake the steps.

Inside Siddha Gufa the darkness is interrupted only by torch beams picking out columns and curtains of flowstone; water still shapes the rock, dropping bead by bead into ancient basins.
