Tucked away in the misty hills of Kodaikanal lies a hauntingly beautiful wonder — Guna Caves, also known as Devil’s Kitchen. Surrounded by dense pine forests and dramatic rock formations, this spot offers a glimpse into nature’s hidden, mysterious side.
Made famous by the Tamil film Guna, the caves are steeped in both cinematic history and local legends. While direct access to the deep cave chambers is now restricted for safety, visitors can still enjoy the surreal views, fog-laced cliffs, and the eerie silence of the surrounding forest.
A short trek from Pillar Rocks leads to this lesser-known attraction that’s perfect for nature lovers, explorers, and anyone looking to experience the offbeat side of Kodaikanal.
