Beanka

Beanka is a limestone massif inland from Madagascar's western coast, east of Maintirano. Weathering has cut the rock into sharp ridges and pinnacles known as tsingy, with caves and narrow passages between them. Dry forest grows over much of the limestone, while sandstone surrounds the massif to the north and south. Beanka is part of the same broad limestone country as Bemaraha, whose striking formations rise farther south.
