Quick answer
It is based at Konjyosom Waterfall. Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 29 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square. Plan for 5 hours of activity time, with 1 hr 15 min of total journey time from that reference point where route data is available, and easy difficulty.
An easy half-day hike to one of Lalitpur's lesser-known waterfalls. From Kathmandu, ride or drive to Rato Ghar via Tikabhairab–Bhardev (1–1.5 hours by bike from Jhamsikhel), then follow the forest trail roughly two hours through Konjyosom Rural Municipality to the falls. From the Baire Mahadev side the approach is shorter — about 1–1.5 hours on foot. The pool at the base is cold even in summer; locals describe it as an ice bath. The route doubles as a cultural walk: Bhardev village's traditional 17-window guest house and the Konjyosom Buddha statue are short detours en route.
