Alutila Cave, also called Alutila Mysterious Cave (Bengali: আলুটিলা গুহা) is a cave located in Matiranga Upazila in hill district of Khagrachari, Bangladesh.[1]
The cave formed inside the 1000-meter-high hill named Alutila (potato hill) or Arbari Hill. The hill area is surrounded by deep green forest.
The cave is 100 meters long. It has a natural subway-like shape with cold water flowing at bottom. The cave is so dark that torches or locally sold flambeaux are used to see well enough to walk around the cave.[2]
