More than 330 m in length, the serpentine Kutumsar cave claim to be the second largest in the world (the longest cave of the world is Mammoth Cave in the U.S.A. which is some 572 kilometres long). This is a biggest tourist attraction, and are close to Tiratgarh waterfalls. Both Kutumsar Caves and Kailash Gufa are located in Kanger Valley National Park and situated at a distances of 38 Km. and 40 Kms.
You will find steps cut on rocks at the entrance and once inside you are bound to be fascinated by the mystifying shapes of the stalactites. One must be very careful because of a dearth of sunlight inside the cave, the floor remains covered in puddles of water. The cave lakes has blind fish and frogs.
The Kutumsar caves are pitch-dark caves, which has Stalactites and Stalagmites in fantastic formations. There are guides who take you in with the help of torches. It is the stalagmite Shivlinga formed over a period of hundreds of years at the extreme end of the cave that serves as the main attraction. Walk till the end of the cave to view the Shivlinga. Carrying torch is recommended. Living in tents in the dense forest and trekking through the many trails is exicting. Kailash gufa is also similar to the Kutumsar caves.
