Belum Caves is the second largest cave in the Indian subcontinent and the longest caves in plains of Indian subcontinent. Belum Caves derives its name from "Bilum", the Sanskrit word for caves. In Telugu language, it is called Belum Guhalu. Belum Caves is 3229 meters long, making it the second largest natural caves in Indian subcontinent. Belum Caves have long passages, spacious chambers, fresh water galleries and siphons. The caves reach its deepest point (120 ft from entrance level) at the point known as Patalganaga.

The Belum Caves came to be known when British surveyor Robert Bruce Foote stumbled upon them caves in 1884. Even after Foote’s discovery, these caves were used as garbage dumps till 1983, when a team headed by German speleologist Herbert Gebauer along with Indian geologists undertook detailed explorations and mapping. It was then that the remnants of clay vessels dating back to 4500 BC were recovered here, along with mortars and pestles used for grinding Ayurvedic medicines, suggesting the antiquity of the caves.

It is believed that this intriguing network of caves was formed where an underground river washed away the soft limestone from the surrounding hard stones. The walls of the caves have deep marks from erosion caused by the river. If you observe closely, you can see deposits of quartz within the caves.
