It’s a rickety ride, bobbing and bouncing off the rocks, as you wend your way on the off-road track paved by Nature herself! After the thrilling, adventurous ride, you reach the pinnacle where two giant rocks await you in all their splendour. These mammoth rocks lean on each other, and overlook the deep valley. In its shape, the structure resembles a tortoise and hence the name Amappara [tortoise-rock].
Perched at the crest of the hill, the rocks look as if they hang from space. To reach there, you need to hop over a set of huge boulders, squeeze yourself through a jumble of rocks and continue your journey. Continue walking until you reach the pinnacle, where the rocks gape into the lush valley. As you stand sandwiched between the rocks, gazing at the verdant valley and rolling hills, time stops. You can explore the many caves and boulders as you spend time here, and each offers a tranquil moment.

The story goes that there is the spirit of a boy aged seven or eight years that still haunts the forest but does not really harm anyone. However, if you happen to witness it, you are bound to be scared for life. Many have seen the boy in the night but there is no trace of him in the morning. According to one account, he was alone camping in the forest when he saw a boy sitting on a rock staring at his fire. He sat there for hours on end but was gone in the morning. The author of this account even checked out the area and asked around if there was a boy missing and looked for footsteps too but in vain.
