If you’re only after the viewpoint and a quick run through Borra Caves, a single day can cover it, but staying overnight lets you catch the misty sunrise from Galikonda. A good spot to stay is USHODAYA RESORTS, just a kilometre away, so you can head out early and return after the caves. For photos, aim for the first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset when the light softens the valley.
