The limestone caves are a series of natural formations made from limestone deposits that have undergone millions of years of erosion and chemical weathering. Over time, the water from rainfall percolates through the ground, causing the limestone to dissolve and form intricate stalactites, stalagmites, and other spectacular shapes. These formations are the result of the slow deposition of calcium carbonate from the water, which crystallizes to create the stunning structures seen in the caves One of the most striking features of the Baratang limestone caves is the rich diversity of the cave formations. Some areas of the cave feature delicate stalactites hanging from the ceiling, while others are adorned with stalagmites rising from the cave floor. The limestone formations vary in size, with some being large enough to create narrow corridors, and others forming vast chambers. The overall effect is one of awe and wonder, as visitors move through the cool, dimly lit passages of the cave system.
