About Pillar Rocks & Guna Caves
The Pillar Rocks are three towering vertical granite pillars rising over 100 m, a dramatic viewpoint set amid gardens and mist. Nearby, the Guna Caves (Devil's Kitchen) are a group of deep caverns among the boulders (now fenced for safety). Together they are among Kodaikanal's most striking natural sights.
