Welcome To Baratang Island

PLACES TO VISIT IN BARATANG

1) Lime Stone Caves

Limestone Caves is the most sought after attraction in Baratang. Its unique name is the first reason why people get attracted to it because the idea of visiting a cave in an island destination is a fascinating & adventurous one. The Limestone Caves are adorned with formations made of limestone. Inside the cave, the temperature is lower than outside. The cave contains beautiful formations.

 Once a guide, while guiding us inside the cave mentioned: “Your imagination while seeing these formations will give face and name to them”. Doesn’t that sound enthralling? Limestone is mostly made up of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate). Limestone is very soluble, meaning it is easily dissolved. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide in the air and a weak solution of carbonic acid is formed. This water can dissolve limestone over time, creating a cave.

2) Mud Volcano

The Mud Volcano is the second most visited attraction in Baratang. When on a day trip to Baratang, you can cover both Limestone Caves & the Mud Volcano - given that you follow the timings suggested by your tour organizer because time management is the pivotal factor that decides how well you can cover the attractions at a place you visit.

The Mud Volcano is much defined by its name. It’s a volcano from which a mixture of mud, water and gases erupt. It looks like mud bubbling out of the landform. Did you know that the Mud Volcano present at Baratang is the only known example of its kind in India? If yes, then you have heard that right. The mud volcanic eruption in this area is still alive and has attracted tourists to it.

3) Parrot Island

At a distance of about 30 Kilometers from Baratang, is the location of this uninhabited island called Parrot Island which is famous for the factor that every evening with the sun coming down, it becomes home to thousands of parakeets (multiple small to medium species of parrots) and other birds of different species. By the above statement, it happens to be clear that the best time to visit Parrot Island is in the evening. The island holds sheer peace until the birds fly in and start roosting and chirping to blow life in its atmosphere.
