History

Robber's Cave is situated in a vast limestone area in the Dehra plateau in Dehradun. It is believed by locals that the place was used by robbers in the late 1800s to hide from the British-Indian authorities and store their loot. Labyrinth caves were suitable for robbers to hide here, which is why it came to be known as Robber's Cave.
