Dolmen Circle
Some sites of anthropological interest called Dolmen Circle can be seen near Parvatha Vihar and the Pannaikadu village. Due to willful vandalism or neglect, many of them are lost. Only two remain intact, one at Perumal Peak and another in the Shenbaganoor museum. These rectangular stone structures were once the dwelling or burial places of the people of prehistoric time. Now, as relics of the Stone Age, they are the sad reminders of the life in the distant past.
Pillar Rocks
The three 100m high columns of solid granite boulders, called Pillar Rocks are a geological wonder. The chamber between two columns is called Devil’s kitchen. This stone formation would have sprung millions of years ago. It inspires a love for mountain climbing among the tourists. However, going beyond the fence is dangerous. A visit to this spot before 9am offers an amazing view beyond imagination. Frequent rains and mist may hide the sight.
