Our experience

During our visit in Araku we went to Borra cave, as a refreshment before entering the cave we had sweet corns & sugarcane juice.

As we entered the cool, damp atmosphere inside the cave, which provides us a refreshing contrast to the outside heat.

The dim lighting inside the borra cave enhances the mysterious feel of the cave. As we walk inside the majestic view of Stalactites hang from the cave ceiling, while stalagmites rise from the cave floor, mesmerise us.

These formations are formed over thousands of years by the slow dripping of mineral-rich water.

As we trek further we experience nature’s way of artistic prowess.

After all the Cave experience we couldn’t leave Borra cave without having Bamboo chicken.

Bamboo chicken is a must try thing whenever you visit Araku valley or Borra cave.

I wish you would enjoy the same as we did while we travelled over here & ofcourse travel is incomplete without food, the local cuisine—it’s an integral part of the journey that adds the depth.
