Robber’s Cave, Dehradun

We were in Dehradun to attend a marriage. We had the morning to spare and so we searched the internet for what we can do. We saw good reviews of a place mysteriously called the Robber’s Cave. It was enticing enough for us to take a trip. It was a half hour drive from our hotel.

Breakfast at The Goat Village was equally tasty. The manager told us to pack some parathas to enjoy at the  summit. One of the hotel workers accompanied us as guide. We were the only ones on the trek. The first leg was pleasant. We were able to hit the forest within an hour. Then the challenging segment started.

Nagtibba Trek Part 1 - Part 2

• Book The Goat Village in advance. You will not regret it.
• Better to have own vehicle. It will help specially in the return leg if you want to reach Mussoorie.
• Plan two nights if you want to enjoy in leisure, else one night stay is enough.
• Nagtibba is a day trek. Some people attempt it early morning to see the sunrise.

I have been to mussoorie so many times and heard of Nagtibba so often that it was a surprise when we found ourselves going there on a split second decision. We were drinking tea at the Mall Road in Mussoorie. It was 4PM. We were coming from Kanatal after visiting the famous Surkanda Devi Temple. What should we do now? I tossed in the idea of Nagtibba and in few minutes we were on the way.
