To reach the Limestone Caves in Baratang Island, you first travel from Port Blair to Baratang by road, covering about 100 kilometres through dense forests and the Jarawa Tribal Reserve. From there, a short boat ride through mangroves followed by a 1.5-kilometre walk takes you to the caves.
The Limestone Caves in Baratang were naturally formed over millions of years by the slow deposition of calcium carbonate. Rainwater dissolved the limestone rocks, creating stunning formations of stalactites and stalagmites. These caves reflect the island’s ancient geological history and attract travellers for their mysterious beauty.
The best time to visit Baratang’s Limestone Caves is between November and May, when the weather is pleasant and the sea is calm. During this season, boat rides through mangroves are safe and scenic, and visitors can explore the caves comfortably without heavy rain or humidity.
Yes, cameras are allowed inside the Limestone Caves, but visitors are advised to handle them carefully due to low light and narrow paths. Flash photography is not recommended, as it may harm the delicate formations and disturb the natural texture of the cave walls.
