In a recent trip to Dehradun and Massoorie I visited a very unique and a bit isolated place by the name of 'Gucchu Pani' just around Dehradun. It is a place which is not very popular and is known only to the people living near by. The roads leading to the place are also not proper and you have to travel through several bad turns and roads to reach the place. When we reached the place we noticed that there was a person who was in charge of the parking, on enquiry we found that from that day itself the parking has been placed and an entry fee of Rs 10 has also been charged.
When we entered the place it was awesome, it was totally worth the efforts that we had put in to actually reach that place. The place is a sort of a cave which has water flowing through it and you have to walk and at times crawl through it. The water is absolutely chilly at some parts and surprisingly warm at other places. There is no specific route defined within the cave and you have to find/make your own way. It is a great experience to keep on jumping over rocks and crawling through flowing water. The rocks at some places are very slippery and it takes a lot of courage to climb on them. There is a point where the water falls from a height of around 10 feet but the flow and current is very fast, also the water is close to freezing cold. We had a shower there and it was a once in lifetime experience.
The fact that the place is yet to be explored has left it clean so it feels that much good. The water is clean and so is the area surrounding it. There are a few shops just at the entry to the caves which serves tea, coffee and some snacks. Fried Maggi is a hit snack in that part of the country and almost every shops sells it. We also had tea and a bit of snacks at one of these shops and that was also a great experience. We had our feet under cold water and sipping hot tea. Overall it was a great experience and a great place to be in. I highly recommend it to any one who is planning a outing to Dehradun, Massoorie or around.
