Gunaa Caves (Devil's Kitchen)

KodaikanalIndiaDiscovered 1821

Gunaa Caves, originally named 'Devil's Kitchen' by British surveyor B. S. Ward in 1821, is a hazardous network of deep rock chasms and narrow cliff crevices near Pillar Rocks in Kodaikanal. Renamed after the 1991 cult film 'Gunaa', the site gained dark notoriety due to over 16 documented human disappearances in its bottomless stone pits. Surrounded by mist-shrouded shola forests and tangled tree roots, the caves carry a grim reputation as a realm of malevolent spirits and fatal traps.

Pari Tibba (Fairy Hill)

MussoorieIndiaAncient–present

Pari Tibba, translated as the 'Hill of the Fairies', is an isolated, densely forested mountain peak located east of Landour in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. Immortalized in the stories of iconic Indian author Ruskin Bond, this solitary 6,000-foot ridge remains completely uninhabited. Notorious for attracting an unusually high frequency of lightning strikes that repeatedly destroyed early British settlement attempts, Pari Tibba is shrouded in romantic and spooky legends of tragic star-crossed lovers, woodland fairies, and restless spirits.
