Guna Caves (Devil's Kitchen)

குணா குகை

A deep rock-fissure cave that became famous after the 1991 film Guna and the 2024 film Manjummel Boys.

Guna Caves, originally called the Devil's Kitchen, are a deep cleft between two giant boulders near Pillar Rocks. A British officer discovered them in 1821. The 1991 Tamil film Guna was shot here and gave the cave its name. The 2024 Malayalam film Manjummel Boys brought it back into the spotlight. The cave entrance is closed off with iron grilles, so visitors can only view it from the observation platform and the forest root trail. Admission is about 20 rupees, and the caves are open roughly 9:00–17:00. They are on the same route as Pillar Rocks.
