The unexploited beauty of Robber’s Cave is simply a charm hard to resist. The place is a natural river cave with water streaming down and simply disappearing. The cave is divided into two parts and the water flows inside the cave. For the enthusiasts of geography the place is a must visit. There is a gorge that is formed in a composite limestone area, and is highly restricted. The length of the entire cave is about 600 meters, and the highest waterfall in the cave is of about 10 meters. This waterfall is a popular site for sightseeing and tourists often take pictures with the waterfall behind them. The water simply drops out of sight inside the cave, as it goes underground. However, if one moves a few meters away, he can see the water again. The place is tranquil,but the tranquillity breaks from time to time owing to the hordes of tourists. Still, it is a most popular place for seeking solitude and peace.
The cave is now maintained by the state government. Today, it is popular for trekking in addition to picnics. There are certain good Dehradun hotels in the vicinity to the cave. Meanwhile, without doubt, a trip to Dehradun is a nice experience, and there are several other equally good attractions in addition to the Robber’s Cave that are dispersed throughout the city.
