Robber's Cave, Natural cave in Dehradun, India

Robber's Cave, known locally as Guchhu Pani, is a river cave in a narrow gorge cut into conglomerate limestone on the Dehra plateau near Garhi Cantt, Dehradun. It runs about 600 metres and is divided into two main parts, with a waterfall dropping roughly 10 metres. In the central section, the remains of a broken fort wall stand beside the water channel.

Local belief holds that robbers used this limestone gorge in the late 1800s to hide from British-Indian authorities and store their loot. Its labyrinth of narrow passages made it a suitable refuge, which is how the site came to be called Robber's Cave.

Locals call the cave Guchhu Pani, and the name is used for the site near Garhi Cantt as well as for the cave itself. The cave lies in a conglomerate limestone area of the Dehra plateau, and a fort wall structure in its central part is now broken. Visitors reach it after a one-kilometre trek from Anarwala village, where local buses stop.

Visitors must wade through ankle-deep to knee-deep water, so waterproof shoes or sandals and clothes that can get wet are necessary. The passages can be dark in places, and a small flashlight or phone light helps to spot rocks and steps along the way.

The water flowing through the cave contains sulfur compounds and smells faintly of eggs, which surprises some visitors. Local people come here to soak their feet and hands in the water, believing it helps with skin problems.
