A small garden at the base provides an excellent viewpoint for tourists.
- Guna Caves: Originally known as the Devil’s Kitchen, these deep bat-infested chambers are located between the three massive boulders of Pillar Rocks. The caves gained popularity after a famous Indian movie was filmed here. The surrounding shola trees and aerial roots create a prehistoric and adventurous setting for visitors.
