How To Reach Ghorlata Cave Palkot
Gumla, Jharkhand, India
Sub Place Details: Ghorlata Cave is a fascinating historical and mythological site located in the Palkot block, which was once the capital of the Nagvanshi kings. The cave is steeped in legends, specifically from the Ramayana, as it is believed to be the place where the monkey king Sugriva hid from his brother Bali. The name 'Ghorlata' is derived from the fact that the cave entrance and interior resemble a horse's stable or hideout. Inside the cave, the temperature remains surprisingly cool even during the peak of summer, a phenomenon that locals attribute to the natural water sources hidden within the rock layers. The cave system is part of the larger Palkot Wildlife Sanctuary, surrounded by rugged hills and dense forests. Historically, these caves served as strategic hideouts for the Nagvanshi army during invasions. The trek to the cave is an adventure in itself, passing through rocky terrain and ancient ruins. It is a site that combines natural geology with deep-rooted cultural heritage. Many visitors find the silence inside the cave to be profoundly meditative. The area is also famous for its unique "balanced rocks" and other caves like Shitalpur nearby.
