GUHALU in telugu Means CAVES. Borra Guhalu is the station name where one must alight to visit the Borra Caves, which is considered the deepest caves in India with the height of the cave roof from the deepest point of the cave being 260 ft.
So the track here on the caves is running on a 100 ft thick rock, under which there is a 78 feet gap (Borra).

Geo Coordinates : Coordinates: 18°10′N 83°0′E., Location Borra Village, Anantagiri Hills. It falls enroute Araku Valley from VSKP..
If you take the Kirandul Passenger from VSKP, you will get there. Thats the only train that runs in this route. Rest all are goods. And this passenger has an FC coach as well as organized tourist coaches by APTDC attached to it, to take tourists to Araku by Rail-Road trip through 52 tunnels.
I think I posted this info earlier too.
