A secret tunnel that supposedly served as a hiding place for a local outlaw, Guna Cave is now open for exploration. The trek to the cave entails walking through thick forests and hills, adding a unique charm to the place. The cave itself is quite narrow, but it contains a small stream that leads you through the other end of the cave. The entire trek from the entrance to the cave and back might take around 2-3 hours. People who are claustrophobic need to take extra precautions and avoid this trek.
For those with more time and energy, try exploring the Kodaikanal Lake or the Pillar Rocks. If you have less time, you can choose to visit the Coakers Walk, which offers another viewpoint of the Kodaikanal Valley. Always carry a backpack with essentials like water bottles, snacks, and a medical kit when embarking on a trek. Ensure that you leave early in the day to avoid getting stuck on the trekking trail after sunset, as trails are not lit up after dark.
