Heyy,
Robbers cave(Guchu Pani) is my favourite place in dehradun, first time i went there when I was in 10′th class…but its now the perfect climate to be there if u delay then the water may be too cold. Robbers cave is at a distance of arnd 8 Kms from the city.
Its simply amazing to walk between gigantic rocks with pleasant stream flowing through your feet and drops of water spring on your face from the top…There is a lil bit of rock climbing
too that you need to do and after walking aroung 1km in the caves you reach a clear ground spot with grass all around that looks awesome..dnt miss that…ooh man i am so nostalgic…next time m in doon i’ll have to go there..
njoy your trip
Hey apart from robbers cave let me add some of my best hangouts around dehradun,
I’ll count some of the not so well known but fantastic places
Kalsi-55 Kms from dehradun on the chakrata road, a plcae that can be easily covered in a single day. Here you would see the pure n clean yamuna (delhites wont even recognise it is yamuna)…just get off the road and climb down to the bank of the river….dnt get deep in the water as the flow can be more than u would imagine it to be.
Shekar Falls: Even most of the doonites dnt know of this place, this is a small 3-4 kms trekk from the sahansahi ashram(the starting point for the trek to mussoorie), its actually massive in monsoon…
Jungle opposite Sai Baba Mandir rajpur road
We have just wandered into this jungle many a times, just park ur bike somewhere near sai baba mandir and walk towards the jungle across the road. If u are one of those junglee kinds then you’d be exhilrated. We have even spotted the giant lizard and porcupine there. After a decent walk you would reach the upstream of the river that flows down towards the robbers cave.
Asaan Barraige- The photographers can have a treat for there cameras here, this place is about 50 kms from ddun on the paonta sahib route. The yamuna before going into the Asaan Barriage(dam) forms a huge lake here which has turned up to be one of the biggest migratory bird’s asylum. Its a must visit for bird watchers. Some water sports also happen at this place.
The best thing about dehradun is that you move in any direction for 15-20 kms, u’ll find a breathtaking view waiting to be absorbed, you would find a stream, a jungle a hill and u can then say this is my picnic spot for today.
