Kodaikanal, 'Switzerland of the East', Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu

Made famous by Kamal Hassan in shooting his film "Guna", Devil's Kitchen is now popularly called Guna Caves after it was turned into a romantic kidnapper?s den for his Tamil movie. The cave is formed as a chamber between the two rocks of the Pillar Rocks and presents a view as if it is an abyss.

Its a cave known more to the locals, in the road after "Green Valley View" and "Pillar Rocks". Watch out for the deep hidden ravines. Very steep and risky to get in. What would appear like mere dark gutters are actually a deep fall. Many unsuspecting people have fallen prey to the "Devil's trap". So,watch your step! This cave is now off limits due the dangerous descent and the many deaths that happen every year.

Its a deep bat-infested chamber between three naturally arranged imposing boulders (Pillar Rocks). Loud teenagers stand just outside the fencing around the cave, screaming 'Abiramiiiii!' in top pitch (name of the kidnapped heroine in 'Guna' movie). Inside Devil?s Kitchen, however, the air?s muggy, the walls smooth, with little shelves that look perfect for a perch.
