Monsoon Drive Meetup at 'The Grand Canyon of India' Gandikota Fort & Gorge and Belum Caves - August 20th and 21st 2016

The independence of the open road is all about an adventure behind the wheel, going where ever and whenever you want to.

When: August 20th and 21st - 2016

Where: Belum Caves and Gandikota Fort & Gorge

About the place:

Belum Caves:

Belum caves, supposedly the longest caves in India after Borra, is about 80 kms from 'Orvakal'. Belum Caves have long passages, fresh water galleries and siphons.

It is a natural underground cave formed by the constant flow of underground water. The caves reach its deepest point (150 feet) known as 'Pataalaganga'. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n3946[/ATTACH]

Gandikota:

The name Gandikota was acquired from the picturesque gorge formed between the Erramalai hills.

A deep valley with massive boulders of red granite resembling the Grand Canyon surrounds the fort.

The Penna river flows between the gorge which is ~100 meters below the western and northern sides of the fort. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n3947[/ATTACH]

Hi Karthik,

There is an issue with accommodation.

Only one government resort is available in Gandikota.

Sadly, It has only limited rooms.

Join the next meet.
