Mud Volcanoes
The Mud Volcanoes of Baratang Island are a unique and fascinating natural phenomenon located on the island’s interior. These volcanoes don’t erupt with molten lava but instead emit mud and gas, creating mud pools and geysers that bubble and spurt.
The mud volcanoes are formed by geothermal activity beneath the earth’s surface, where hot gases escape, causing the mud to rise.
The site is a hidden gem for geology enthusiasts and nature lovers, offering a chance to witness an unusual geological formation in the middle of a lush rainforest. Visitors can take a boat ride followed by a short trek through the forest to reach the mud volcanoes. The surrounding area is rich in biodiversity, with various species of birds, insects, and plants, making it an exciting spot for nature photography as well.
