Chobhar is also known for the Chobhar gorge through which all the water of the valley drains. A small temple of Adinath Sampradaya sits on top of a nearby hill.

It is believed that the bodhisattva Manjushree cut a gorge at a place called Chobhar Gorge, near Chobhar Ancient Hill Village (sp. also Chovar, chobar) and drained away the waters to establish a habitable land. These caves have been explored by research teams from the UK in 1976, Czechoslovakia in 1980 and Germany in 1985. Explorations of the caves in April 2007 indicate that there are at least six known entrances all documented by GPS readings made by a French team of speleologists, led by Maurice Duchesne from France. A map of those caves is now available. The caves are often infiltrated by water due to fluctuating levels of the nearby Bagmati River. Thus, visitors are strongly advised not visit inside the caves without being accompanied by competent professional guides who have a compass and other equipment required for cave exploration. Maximum safety precautions is advised. No snakes have been sighted in these Chobhar caves but many bats have been sighted. Measuring a minimum of 1250 metres, Chobhar caves are the largest in Asia. Cross country, the caves are a brief fifteen-minute walk from ancient Chobhar Hill Village. (en)
  • Cuevas de Chobhar son una extensa red de cuevas naturales cerca del pueblo de Chobhar, que se encuentra a 9 km al suroeste de Katmandú, en el país asiático de Nepal. Chobhar también es conocida por la garganta Chobhar a través del cual fluye toda el agua del valle. Un pequeño templo de Adinath Sampradaya se encuentra en la cima de una colina cercana. El templo ofrece una vista de montañas cubiertas de nieve.​ Según la leyenda local, el Valle de Katmandú fue un lago. Se cree que la diosa Manjushree cortó una garganta en un lugar llamado Quebrada Chobhar, cerca de una antigua colina de Chobhar y dreno las aguas para crear tierra habitable. (es)
