Baba Pyare Caves are located a couple of meters away from the Uparkot Fort in Junagadh. We decided to ask the locals and walk it out as they were close by.

The Caves are tagged on google maps, plus one can ask the locals for directions too, these caves are not deserted and locals have built their homes around them.

There used to be a small hillock where. the caves are carved out of the hillock. Most of the caves are identical. they had a verandah  leading to the cave within.

Looks like the local graffiti artists had been here, they have their names all over the caves.  What a shame.

The caves are not in very good condition. Due to the rains, the walls seem to have been eroded away. One thing worth mentioning is that there is a good drainage water management system around the cave premises.
