Caving and Geology | Gosthani Gorge Exploration

Explore the hidden Gosthani Caves, a quiet and untouched extension of the famous Borra Caves. These caves were carved over millions of years, and you’ll see beautiful limestone formations, tall stalagmites rising from the ground, and delicate stalactites hanging above you.

The caving route takes you through a human face-shaped cave entrance where the river flows in. You crouch, crawl and walk through spaces shaped by the steady flow of the Gosthani River and exit the caves as the river flows out into the magical Gosthani River gorge!

Along the way, you’ll experience the geology, river life, and the cool, ancient atmosphere that makes this cave system so special.

Join us for a calm, exciting underground trek into a place that few have seen.
