History Edit

Gachhu Pani is situated in a vast limestone area in the Dehra plateau in Dehradun. You can see similar caves in Sahastradhara of Dehradun. Gucchu pani (robber's Cave) is a narrow gorge also known as Nero Gauge Cave, the area is an example of chosen stone construction. The late 1800s Robber's Cave is used by robbers to hide from the British. Due to the natural and local condition of this cave, it was easiest for the robbers to hide here. Labyrinth caves were suitable for robbers to hide here, which is why it came to be known as robber's Cave.[4] It is believed by the locals that the place was used by the robbers for hiding their lootings.
