Belum Caves Day Trip
A Belum Caves day trip is the perfect underground contrast to the dramatic landscapes of Gandikota canyon. Located about 25 kilometres away, this short Gandikota distance makes it an easy extension to a visit to Gandikota fort. Belum Caves are among the longest cave systems in India, known for their extensive passages, stalactites, stalagmites, and naturally formed chambers. After exploring the open plateau and cliff edges near Gandikota, descending into these cool limestone tunnels offers a completely different geological experience. Many travelers combine Hyderabad to Gandikota travel plans with a stop at Belum for a well rounded two day itinerary.
How to Reach
Belum Caves can be reached by road from Gandikota within an hour. Private vehicles are the most convenient option, especially for those planning Gandikota camping the previous night.
Things to Do
Walk through illuminated cave corridors, observe unique rock formations, and visit the meditation hall deep inside the cave system.
Tips Before Visiting
Check Gandikota timings and cave entry hours in advance. Wear comfortable footwear and carry water, as exploring the caves involves extended walking.
