Visit to Borra Caves, Vizag



We were all so exceited to go to Borra Caves as it is huge and natural. It is believed that this cave was 150 million years old. The humic acid in the water eracts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone and dissolves minerals breaking the rock gradually. We saw stalactites but not stalagmites.Some of the stones looked like a human brain , a crocodile or a ghost. The green and yellow lights  made my eyes flash as I walked into the mysterious , dark, rough and wet path. The dark cave was as dark as space and the lighted areas were like far away planets.  It was an amazing experience.
