Uttrakhand is a land of gods as well as mysteries. There are various mystical places in uttrakhand, about what i will be telling in upcoming blogs. Todays topic is bhoon, a secret cave in Dharkot, a village located in pratap nagar tehsil of tehri district of uttarakhand.
Pratap nagar is named before king pratap singh, who used to come to stay here in summers. As pratap nagar is located in high altitude the king used to shift from Old tehri which was located in valley. High mountains have low temprature that valleys, that's the reason he used to shift in summers.
Now, bhoon is actually located in forest area of dharkot. It is actually a cavity in the mountain, which the local people used to believe, is a short cut to rishikesh.
The story is that once, a goat of one of the residents of dharkot accidentally slipped to bhoon. After one month of the incident, delhi residing resident of dharkot reached dharkot, after he heard about the incident, he told that he saw the goat with same features in rishikesh whose one leg was broken, on the bank of river with one lamb. From that day onwards people in dharkot started to believe that the bhoon is shortcut to rishikesh.
But there were some people who didn't believe in such things, but there was no mean to prove the reality because of lack of equipments, as the time passed, the tools became available, & one of the residents who didnt believe that it is the shortcut to rishikesh decided to go inside the bhoon.
Mr. Yoginder negi, collected all the necessary supplies, went to bhoon all alone discovered that bhoon is really very deep, but not that much to reach rishikesh, there were skeletons of many animals like deer, wild buffalos etc. He tried to go through smaller holes but was unable to go inside.
He concluded that, if something will fall from such height, will never will able to walk again atleast, the smaller holes in bhoon were too small for atleast a goat to pass through & there is no such shortcut to rishikesh from bhoon.
