As clear from the title, I didn't expect to find those extraordinary places that we normally remove from our Itineraries until on that very day, we went for them. It was a good road trip started from the deserted roads of Dehradun, all the way to Mussoorie while discovering some interesting places like Mindrolling Monastery where the monks prayed,
the silence prevailed & peace was all around. The only thing one could dream at a place like
this is to stay forever in that divine environment where your soul meets the real purpose of this
significant life that God has given unlike that glitzy lifestyle that most of us are faking.

Next up was the Himalayan Range point (Lal Tibba) & as evident from the name itself it was a surreal view that made all that drive worth. All the 4 Dhams (Indian Religious Places) were
clearly visible from that height where the clouds end & the peaks of Himalaya were crystal clear
making it more than just a ViewPoint. Finally, the day ended getting back to our hotel &
discussing the next day's plans at the dinner table.

The next day was the day of Trek, that's right the one thing which nobody wants to miss on even
their worst trips & ours was just getting really interesting.

George Everest is the name of that place AKA Mini Everest & literally the name is not at all
misleading. Upon reaching the location, there was a white deserted castle that seemed more
than 100 years old but stood firm like it is to be inaugurated tomorrow. Inside was nothing but
some old remains of the Leader who used to rule there long before Technology disrupted us.

After exploring the place a bit, we headed for that ultimate zeal & without further ado keeping our eyes straight at the top started our trek. Upon reaching the peak, is a short trek, the experience was thrilling in every way & view outlasted even the Lal Tibba as the height was double than the latter. In this way, we explored George Everest & proceeded to our ultimate
destination.

Here comes that part of our Jaunt which made me write this story, the Robbers Cave
(Guchhupani). It is a natural cave formation where rivers flow inside the cave, being around 700m in length & having a very narrow width makes the experience challenging.
Leaving our footwear behind, with our pants folded & me saving my DSLR from water, started our tread. Initially, it was a bit rough & didn't seemed worthy enough to continue but keeping our spirits high, we progressed further. In the middle of the cave was a Tea Stall (Hats Off to him) where we took a short break & warmed up for the second half. Climbing the uneven terrains, dodging the waterfall pressure & saving ourselves from tripping, we moved on.

Clicking some pictures, enjoying the best of nature & feeling that Quivering due to the
temperature of the water, we were ready to explore. Being excited about what the cave has to offer when we reach its end kept us going.

Finally, we reached the end where all the commotion ended & nothing except the sky was there. Although the view was good but wasn't as good as what we expected. After a while we realised, it was the journey & not the end that was appealing. The mountains, the terrains, the quivers, the water pressure, that chai (Tea) & what not was the real enchantment. The end was just a
the point where the cave ended but the real experience was in the expedition.
In this way, our Trip ended & we didn't discover anything miraculous but the overall experience was so overwhelming which we didn't expect. Also, this cave was none less than the caves you would find in countries like Slovenia, Greece, etc. So it's a must-visit if you visit this part of India
