Chandan – The guide enhanced our knowledge about a newly found cave and we decided to visit. Scooty was not recommended because we have to drive uphill. A motorbike was required. This time I opt for the Hero Honda Splendor motorcycle. Cost Rs. 350 per day starting from 9 morning till 9 night hours. Scooty is 100 rupees cheaper but then it is a risk to have it for an uphill drive I guess with two people.

At 11:15 we started our journey from Tapovan, Rishikesh and by 1:30 pm we reached the newly found cave i.e., Kailash Gufa, Loyal village. In between we stop at Vashisht Gufa, Gular at 11:50 am.

Kailash cave is at Loyal village in Tehri Garhwal of Uttarakhand was discovered on 7th March 1997. Few village children were chasing sahi (Porcupine). It entered into a small space around rocks and when rocks were removed huge cave was discovered by the villagers. The length of the Cave is 125 meters and Width – 8 meters.
