Siddha Cave (Siddha Gufa) is one of the largest caves in Nepal, on a hillside above Bimalnagar on the Prithvi Highway, below Bandipur. Its chambers are filled with stalactites and stalagmites, and bats live in the darker sections.
Quick answer: Walk about an hour uphill from Bimalnagar, or down from Bandipur. Hire a local guide with a torch at the entrance, and wear shoes with grip: the floor is slippery.
