Travel Tips Of Borra Caves

Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India
Sub Place Details: Borra Caves are spectacular karst limestone formations located at an altitude of 705 meters in the Ananthagiri hills. Discovered by William King of the Geological Survey of India in 1807, these caves are estimated to be millions of years old. The caves were formed by the action of the Gosthani River flowing through the limestone area, dissolving the rock over eons. They are known for their magnificent Stalactites and Stalagmites, which have taken shapes resembling Lord Shiva, a Mother-Child, a Crocodile, and even a Human Brain. The caves extend to a depth of 80 meters, making them the deepest caves in the country. Anthropologists have found stone tools here dating back to the Middle Paleolithic age (30,000 to 50,000 years ago).

Tourism Tips

Sub Place Tourism Tips: Wear sturdy, non-slip walking shoes as the limestone floors inside the caves are often damp and can be quite slippery. Carry a flashlight if you want to see the darker corners and formations that the installed LED lights might not fully reach. Be prepared for a lot of climbing, as there are many steps to reach the bottom and return to the entrance. Keep a water bottle handy, but avoid eating inside the cave to prevent attracting insects or littering the natural environment.
