A three-hour long journey from Vishakapatnam, winding in and out of tunnels, will lead you into the intriguing world of limestone stalactites and stalagmites at the Borra caves, in the Anantagiri Hills of the Eastern Ghats, Andhra Pradesh.
The caves which stretch across 1 sq. km. at 1400m above sea level were formed a million years ago by the Gosthani River. Its limestone deposits have captured the public imagination. Many people see in them different shapes like Shiva-Parvati, a human brain, crocodile, temple, church and mushrooms, among other things.
Anthropologists have also found primitive Stone Age tools in the caves.
