During this year end, we were looking for nearby places to visit in a day or two. We were planning to travel with a friend and family and this place was suggested by them. It is surprising that we never heard of this place before. Belum Caves is the second largest cave in Indian subcontinent and the longest caves in plains of Indian Subcontinent, known for its stalactite and stalagmite formations. It have long passages, spacious chambers, fresh water galleries and siphons. The caves reach its deepest point 120 feet from ground level. Belum Caves derives its name from "Bilum" Sanskrit word for caves. In Telugu language, it is called Belum Guhalu. It has a length of 3229 meters, making it the second largest natural caves in Indian Subcontinent. The cave was restored by APTDC and was open to public in 2002 for 1.5 km stretch. Around 3.5km of the cave have been explored so far. (Information from Wikipedia)
