Kutumsar Cave, an underground cave, is 330 metres in length and is believed to be the second longest natural cave in the world. It is about 32 km from Jagdalpur and was discovered in the year 1900. The road to the cave is not easily accessible; a torch is a must. The surroundings are forested arvl hilly. The hill-top is also an attractive, sight.

There are stairs at the entrance and once inside, you can see stalactite formations. No sunlight reaches the cave and in little puddles of water there live blind fish and frogs. The cave has many connecting compartments. At the end of the cave is a stalagmite Shivalinga, which is revered by tribals and visitors alike.

All the caves are a geologist's delight as their rocks are said to be millions of years old. During the monsoons, the caves are closed for visitors.

Since the area is full of dense forests, an experienced guide is essential. It is also dangerous to roam freely in the forest. Prior permission is required to visit this forested cave.
