A unique creation of cave nature. Movable property. There is a similar cave in Phirphire of Shuklagandaki Municipality-12 of Tanahu district where there are figures of gods and goddesses. Hundreds of goats live there. Interestingly, there is a waterfall inside the cave.
In 2000, tourism experts named the cave ‘Millennium Cave’. At the same time, the ‘Millennium Footpath’ from Dulegonda on the Prithvi Highway to Syangja was started. There is no need to walk now, the motor road is open everywhere.
In fact, the Phirphire area has many things, including the Millennium Cave and the ruins of an old palace. There are ruins of the Thakuri dynasty’s palace, Rani Kuwa, Tundikhel, prison, Taksar, Chowki and other heritages of the 24th reign.
The village is also suitable for mountain beauty. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Machhapuchhe and Lamjung mountains can be seen from here.
This place is rich in culture and history, where the fragrance of Gurung lifestyle and culture wafts.
