Borra Caves, Kirinrandal
Borra
Caves are located at distance of 90 km from Visakhapatnam. They are spread over
the Eastern Ghats and occupy an area of 2 square kilometers. The one-million-year-old
Borra Caves are situated at a height 1400 feet above the sea level.
These limestone caves were formed as a result of the action of Gosthani River.
The river, which now flows through these caves, was once upon a time flowing
over the limestone area. Due to the pressure exerted by the river water on the
mineral deposits, the limestone dissolved and gradually the caves were formed.
In the process, giving rise to several interesting structures like - a mushroom,
a temple, a mosque, a church and many more.
