The Kuda caves are also worth your visit but are slightly
off the road. Tale is a small town located at the base of
Talegad fort. There are ancient “Leni” inside
the fort, but you will have to make a trek up to the fort
to see the leni.
The Kuda Leni located near Tale is definitely a place worth
your visit. Caves carved out of mountain in King Shilahar’s
time are still intact. Vehicles can go up to Kuda caves.
The view around the caves is breathtaking.
