Pillar rock is one of the busiest tourist spots in kodaikanal. Thought crowded during season, the three granite boulders each vertically measuring a height of 400 feet stand shoulder to shoulder, resembling set of pillars. It is spectacular to see the mist rise above from the valley below and slowly engulf the pillars and then the rocks reappear when the mist gently disappears.

The chamber between the two pillars is called Devil's kitchen. Many seekers of adventure had perished in the dark deep valleys and crevices between the rocks.
