Turtle Rock is one of the fascinating natural formations in the Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, a World Heritage Site located in the Raisen District of Madhya Pradesh, India. This site exhibits the earliest traces of human life in India, some of which are believed to be around 100,000 years old. Bhimbetka is a treasure trove of prehistoric art, showcasing rock paintings that date back to the Paleolithic era. The name Turtle Rock is derived from its peculiar shape that resembles a turtle.
