About Guna Caves
The Tamil Movie named 'Guna' which starred the famous actor Kamal Haasan was shot inside the Devil's Kitchen Caves. Some areas inside the cave were believed to be damaged by the crew of the movie. However, it was after the release of the film that hundreds of tourists visited this place on a daily basis and it became a famous tourist spot of Kodaikanal. Therefore, after the movie was released, this place came to be known as the Guna Caves.
The caves were formed as a result of the unusual rock formations which started due to the soil erosion from cliffs. There are some dark chambers between the rocks as well where bats reside from where the name Devil's Kitchen is believed to have been derived. Some wild animals in addition to various bird species can be found here as well. It is also believed that the Pandavas stayed at this place for some time.
The place is a great place to click pictures and make memories, but due to the deep fall and the risks associated with it, many tourists are not sure about visiting the lace. However, all the deep narrow ravines which were present here have now been closed down, and the place has become far more protected now with the tourists being able to see the sections of the cave system from afar. From the main entrance of the caves, the tourists are required to walk for around 400 meters and 10 minutes to be able to reach the cave and hilltop which makes up for a great photography location.
Best time to visit Devil's Kitchen
The perfect time to pay a visit to the caves is from April to June followed by August to September when the weather is pleasant and at its best. It is advisable not to visit the place from October to March since during this time the weather remains wet and cold.
