My TripAdvisor Review No.251: Guna Caves, Kodaikanal.

The Caves are no longer Accessible.

These caves, earlier known as the ‘Devil’s Kitchen’, have now been fenced off due to the tragic deaths of some youngsters who went down into the cave chambers below, but never returned. They are now called Guna Caves, because a Tamil movie ‘Gunaa’ was filmed here. These caves are the chambers formed by the giant boulders of the Pillar Rocks.

We had to take a short walk of about half a km to reach the fenced off area. Due to the fog and mist we had to peer into the gaps formed by the boulders and forest trees, and the sight was indeed scary and spooky. As we were standing there we heard the alarm call of some langur monkeys, which scared us even more. Leopards are known to have been sighted in these forests. We were thankful that there was a crowd of about 20 tourists standing nearby so we did not panic and run.

It was a good experience of a walk in a pristine jungle, though with lots of other tourists around.
