Jhor waterfall, also known as Gupha Waterfall (Gupha Jharana) [1] is located in the northern hills of Kathmandu near Tokha. [2] The stream from Shivapuri National Park feeds the waterfall. The waterfall is about 11 km from Ring Road (Samakhusi Chowk) from Samakhushi. [3] There is a temple of Shiva near the waterfall which opens on Saturdays and Mondays. [4] [5] There is also a zipline near the waterfall that was constructed to boost the tourism. [6]

The waterfall is close to the city, hence it attracts people from Kathmandu, [7] especially during the summer. [4] [8] The area is underway a tourism development project. A children park has been constructed a couple of hundred meters below the actual waterfall site. [9]
