In Frames | The ancient caves of Borra

Located in the Anantagiri hills of the Eastern Ghats range in Alluri Sitharama Raju district in Andhra Pradesh, the Borra caves are among the deepest caves in India.

The caves created millions of years ago by water activity, mainly by the Gosthani river, are a rare geological formation. They are basically karstic limestone structures extending to a depth of 80 metres.

The ancient caves were discovered by the Geological Survey of India in 1807. Since then, extensive research has been done by different government departments and expert groups.
