These are unusual rock formations resulting from erosion of soil from cliffs. There are deep dark chambers between the rocks which are inhabited by bats; which is assumed to derive the name Devil’s Kitchen. The caves have always had a sinister, dangerous feel to themselves. The huge menacing boulders, pitch dark and treacherous pits, eerie silences and a sudden whoosh of bats flying past you are more than enough to give anyone the creeps. Some wild animals and several bird species can also be spotted here. It is believed that the Pandavas had stayed at this place for a while. Devil’s Kitchen is a good place to click pictures but due to the deep fall and the risk involved, many tourists hesitate to visit the place.
