Pillar Rocks
தூண் பாறைகள்
Three granite pillars, each about 120 meters tall, stand side by side at the cliff edge. They are Kodaikanal's most iconic landscape.
Pillar Rocks are three vertical granite columns standing side by side, about 122 meters high. From the viewing platform they are often wrapped in cloud and mist, appearing and disappearing. The site is managed by the Forest Department and lies on the same forest loop as Guna Caves, the pine forest and the Green Valley viewpoint, so it is usually visited together by hired vehicle. Admission is about 10-20 rupees, and it is open roughly from 9:00 to 17:00. It is about 7 km from the lake. On foggy days visibility is poor, so be patient and wait.
