Kutumsar Caves and Kailash Gufa, Bastar, Chhattisgarh India

Kutumsar Gufa (Kutumsar Cave) is really astonishing. Being 330 metres long, it is the longest natural cave of the world! Having in mind that the longest cave of the world is Mammoth Cave in the U.S.A. which is some 572 kilometres long, we really giggled when reading this. There are numerous sources on the web about this cave, most seem to be copies of the same unintentionally funny text. Other texts are obfuscating the cave description. One is talking about "India's first and the world's seventh underground cave" (we can only imagine they mean length) and tells the cave was 35m below ground level and 1371m long. Another text calls it "the world's second longest natural caves", but we have no idea what they mean when they talk about "several blind wells". A text also calling it the second longest natural cave in the world claims its length to be 330m. One says "Kotumsar Caves are the caves which are about 2 km (1 mi) deep" and despite the fact that the conversion rate between kilometres and miles is somewhat strange, we are sure the caves are not that deep, we guess they also talk about the length. The kutumsar caves are pitch-dark caves, which have Stalactites and Stalagmites in fantastic formations.
