  • read more about the caves in details Written Ashok Marathe Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/jun102006/1538.pdf
  • There is too much debris at the mouth of the cave and you need to crawl a long distance to get to the steps which goes down-wards .Do not attempt unless you have the necessary equipment (also possibility of snakes and scorpions)
