The elephant caves were formed many years ago when elephants used to visit the rocks due to their richness in calcium. Elephants would continuously hit the rocks with their tusks and eat the resulting pieces of sand. That helped them get enough minerals to make their bones strong. Big holes from elephant’s rock hits are still there and the local nearby community calls them ‘elephant caves’.
