Borra Caves, Show cave in Vishakapatnam district, India
The limestone formations within Borra Caves extend through multiple chambers, creating a network of passages at an elevation of 705 meters above sea level.
British geologist William King documented the discovery of Borra Caves in 1807, initiating scientific studies of its geological formations and prehistoric artifacts.
Local tribal communities consider specific sections of the cave system sacred, attributing supernatural powers to the natural rock formations within the chambers.
The cave maintains a constant temperature throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring light jackets and appropriate footwear for the wet limestone surfaces.
The cave system houses multiple species of bats that have adapted to the specific conditions of different chambers through evolutionary processes.
