This is a river cave formation in the Himalayas. The cave is located one kilometer from the Anarwala Village and one needs to trek by foot to reach it.

The cave is 600 meters long and is divided into two main parts. The highest fall in the cave is 10 meters. One can find a fort wall structure in the central part of the cave which is now broken. This structure consists of a narrow gorge formed in a conglomerate limestone area on the Dehra plateau.
