Editor's Review

'Pillar Rocks' is certainly a marvellous spectacle of nature. The views are very captivating. If you happen to visit the place during sunrise or sunset, you will simply love the atmosphere. Some travellers love the place when it is absolutely clear without any fog. But when the place has just the right amount of fog, the place looks heavenly. Too much fog can spoil the view though.

  • Picturesque views of boulders, cliffs and greenery.
  • Amazing sunrise and sunset atmosphere.
  • Looks marvellous where there's a little fog.

CONS

  • Can get crowded during peak season.
  • The view gets spoilt when there's too much fog.
  • Nothing much to do apart from enjoying the view.
