This immersive field trip takes participants deep into the geological and archaeological landscapes of the Araku Valley and Borra Caves, two of Andhra Pradesh’s most significant natural heritage sites. The Borra Caves, among India’s deepest karst systems, feature spectacular speleothem formations that preserve detailed records of paleoclimatic changes over millennia. The field study focuses on Quaternary landscape evolution, examining sedimentary records, karst topography, and the remains of early human occupation. The region offers a rare chance to study Paleolithic stone tools, ancient settlement patterns, and how prehistoric communities adapted to shifting environmental conditions.
