Naida Caves - Daman and Diu - India

The Naida Caves are an explorer’s delight. Located outside the city wall of the Diu fort, these caves are a network of hewn hollows and steps which beg to be explored. The history of the caves suggests that the Portuguese hacked off building materials during their reign, which resulted in the formation of the caves. 

 Naida caves in Diu are within a short distance from the Diu town. Diu’s greatest glory is the huge fort, a sight that justifies the long trip here. The northern side of the island, facing Gujarat, is tidal marshland and saltpans while the southern coast alternates between limestone cliffs, rocky covers and sandy beaches.

 These caves have a natural opening that allows sunlight to enter the caves, making it all the more photogenic.

 It’s also great if you want to do some actual exploring. Head to the caves during noon (the best time to visit) and spend a couple of hours going through the tunnels in the overwhelming silence and trying to figure out where the stairs actually lead to.

 Naida Caves are a labyrinth of mystery and history. Naida caves are like a confusing network of tunnels that are largely unexplored till date. Well exploration is a traveler’s call but the mysterious vibes of the Naida Caves are enough to give you a high.

The Naida caves are located on the periphery of the Diu fort. These caves have a big network of tunnels with square hewn steps.
