Pillar Rocks, Kodaikanal: Visitor Guide

About Pillar Rocks

Pillar Rocks are three huge vertical granite boulders that rise about 120 metres from the valley floor. A viewpoint and a small garden give clear views of the rocks, and on foggy days they appear and vanish in the mist.

The rocks are next to Guna Caves, so the two are usually visited together.
