There’s something that’s just mysterious and enchanting about caves. More than hiking, climbing, rafting, and many other adventure activities, caving features a certain mysterious aspect. Each turn, nook, and cranny may yield a different experience for each person. However, experiencing the world’s caves is typically more than just walking down a guided path. Today, we highlight some of the world’s best.
1. Elephanta Caves, Gharapuri Island, India. Yes, one of the world’s best caves can be found in India. Ironically, Elephanta is located on Gharapuri Island, or the “place of caves”. The island features a few different groups of caves, highlighted by cave temples that were carved out of solid basalt rock. The primary cave is a temple complex that covers 60,000 sq. ft. We highly recommend this cave system since it’s more accessible than many of the world’s cave systems.
