Gupt Godavari Caves
गुप्त गोदावरी
Two natural limestone caves with stream water reaching the ankles inside. Legend says they were the secret council place of Rama and Lakshmana.
Located about 19 km southwest of Ram Ghat, these are two connected limestone caves. Legend says the Godavari River secretly emerges here, hence the name. The lower cave is long and narrow, and you must wade through stream water from ankle to knee depth. Inside are two rocks known as the thrones of Rama and Lakshmana. The upper cave is more spacious and has stalactites. Stalls at the entrance rent out storage for shoes. The caves are slippery and dim, and weekends see long queues. It is recommended to hire a vehicle and visit together with Sati Anusuya Ashram.
