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

The waterfall is close to the city, hence it attracts people from Kathmandu,[6] especially during the summer.[3][7] The area is underway a tourism development project. A children park has been constructed a couple of hundred meters below the actual waterfall site.[8]
