Naida caves are a hidden gem when it comes to tourism amidst beaches, forts, and churches.
Diu is a much sought-after tourist haven from Gujarat. There exists a road connecting the mainland of Gujarat and the island of Diu.
Diu being an island, has plenty of beaches to lazy around and Diu fort is the most crowded touristy place in short. Having done with walking around the fort and gates and churches, me and my friend decided to rest for the day as there was nothing exclusive and quiet for the traveler.
That is when we saw the board to Naida caves and decided to hop in to check.
What a pleasant surprise it was !!
Naida caves is a photographer’s and explorer’s paradise. It is open till 5.30 pm since it starts to get dark after that.
There exist different explanations regarding the place.
Some say the cave is a natural formation, whereas history also tells the Portuguese carved out the sand/rock from here to build the fort and hence the formation. There wasn’t any information board around the cave, so its history remains a mystery. Upon entering the cave, the signboards direct you to walk around the cave.
The caves are interlinked.
And it is a little more than a half-hour walk around the cave.
Light danced around, and beautiful rays pass through the apertures… Roots hung on the wall, giving an eerie feeling.
There was almost no one in the caves apart from the security guy, and it was one reason to love the cave. I Loved the shades of the cave wall and the texture. There are plenty of autos piled up in the way as Naidu caves are pretty close to the city.
