Robber's Cave (locally known as Guchhupani) is a river cave
formation located approximately 8 km from the centre of Dehradun City
(Uttarakhand, India).
The cave is about 600 metres long, divided into two main
parts. The cave has a highest fall of about 10 metres. In the central part
there is a fort wall structure which is now broken. It consists of an extremely
narrow gorge formed in a conglomerate limestone area on Doon Valley's Dehra
plateau.It is a natural cave formation where rivers flows inside the cave. The
place is a popular tourist spot and is now being maintained by Uttarakhand
State. Local bus services are available up to Anarwala Village, from where it
is a kilometre's trek away.
Guchchupani or Robbers Cave is known for unusual cold
springs which goes underground at some
of the places inside the caves. One can enter
the cold water with folding pants and witness small and large
waterfall. Experiencing beautiful
natural rift or caves with legs in freezing
water is amazing and romantic as well. Youngsters and tourists rushed
to Robbers Cave mostly in summers to
get relief from scorching Sun. Guchchu
Pani is now developing as a best place to visit in Dehradun.
Named by the British, Robbers Cave is well known locally as
'Gucchu Pani'. It was believed that
Robbers used to take hide in Guchchupani
after robbery, so British names it as Robbers Cave.
