<p>Yes, To reach this village you have to do a 2km Trek. This village is located Just above <a href="http://wildhawk.in/patna-waterfall-in-rishikesh/">Patna Waterfall</a> Near Phoolchatti. Although, the origin of patna waterfall is considered to be from this village but villagers can&#8217;t use this water as it flows under the rocks.</p>
