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]

Already full house?

Any particular reason for limiting to only 15 members?

Want to join this time :angry:

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.
