The area is also known for its unique rock formations that have been weathered over millions of years into interesting shapes. It is an ideal spot for a weekend getaway, offering a blend of relaxation and physical activity. The forest is especially beautiful during the post-monsoon season when the entire landscape turns a vibrant emerald green. It serves as an important educational site for children to learn about biodiversity and conservation.
