Baratang Limestone Caves

Baratang Limestone Caves are natural limestone caves located on Baratang Island in the North and Middle Andaman district of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Formed over thousands of years by deposition of limestone, the caves feature stalactites, stalagmites and unique rock formations. Accessible by a mangrove creek boat ride followed by a short trek, they are a prominent natural attraction near Port Blair known for geological interest and scenic surroundings.

Visitors can expect a boat ride through dense mangrove creeks from Baratang Jetty followed by a 1.2 km trek through tropical forest to reach the caves. Inside, narrow passages open into chambers with stalactites, stalagmites and naturally formed limestone structures. The site is undeveloped with natural flooring, low lighting and uneven surfaces. Guides are available to explain formations. The surrounding area includes mangroves, forest and creek views.
