When the other British men were busy engraving their names in the history books like digging lakes, creating parks and walks our hero David Gelli entered the history of Kodaikanal in his own way. He did what all others are doing now in Kodaikanal. He had his honeymoon here with his wife Irene. I write about it because he started it first. At least first on record. But tragically it did not end well. She slipped and fell down from Pillar rock and David followed her later after putting up a white cross which remains till date. So, travelers, cannot go near the place. This is a slippery even in the best of times. I don’t know who measured it as 400 feet over the ground. But I believe them. These rocks rise vertically upward from the ground and have remained untouched by the human hand which makes it even more interesting. There are several hidden nooks and crannies in the rocks that are worth exploring, with each offering a unique view of the surrounding landscape. The place itself is a stunning beauty towering over the plains of Kodaikanal, they offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding natural scene from its many vantage points. While there are many interesting places to see when you are in Kodaikanal, there are none quite like the Pillar Rocks. No wonder David brought Irene here. The Pillar Rocks is the perfect place for a serene picnic or an adventure-filled weekend with your loved ones, when you are in Kodaikanal.
