Borra Caves

Borra Caves

India''s deepest limestone caves, a million year old formation with stalactites and a small Shiva shrine at the entrance.

Borra Caves, discovered in 1807 by geologist William King George, are the deepest natural caves in India and among the country's most significant limestone formations. Formed over roughly a million years, the caves reach a depth of around 705 meters and are filled with stalactite and stalagmite structures visible under natural skylight openings. A small Shiva temple sits just outside the entrance, tied to local legend about the caves' discovery, making this a near mandatory stop on any Araku trip.
