Eco Cave Garden
इको केव गार्डन
A hillside garden linking six natural caves named after animals. Crawling through the caves is good family adventure.
The Eco Cave Garden sits on a hillside west of Mallital. It was developed by the Uttarakhand tourism department. A series of paths links six natural caves: the Tiger Cave, Leopard Cave, Bat Cave, Squirrel Cave and others. Some caves are narrow, so you need to crawl or squeeze through. The caves have lights and animal models inside. The garden also has a hanging garden and a music fountain in the evening. Admission is about 60 rupees, and a visit takes about an hour. The caves are low and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Those who are tall or uncomfortable in enclosed spaces should be cautious. It is about a 15-minute walk from Mallital.
