Trip to Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple of Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India

One December, we went to Dehradun in the state of Uttarakhand, India. We knew that the Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple of Dehradun is one of the most famous temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The main shivalinga at the temple is inside a natural cave. Water drops from the ceiling of the cave trickle down over the shivalinga in a continuous downpour, making for an interesting spectacle.

But It was situated by the forest side, and there was no direct transport to reach the spot. Neither an Autorickshaw nor an app cab was willing to go there. After a long argument, an autorickshaw took us that place. After visiting the Temple, we tried and tried to book an app cab, but failed every time. Because unfortunately that place was not properly mentioned in Google Maps. On that spot, I had corrected the location and a few minutes later successful to book a cab. And finally, we started our return journey from the forest side to the city.
