Organ Pipes
The name is an apt description of these five- to seven- sided perpendicular dolerite columns, some of which reach 5 meters in length. They are found standing exposed in a 100-meter long gorge that forms part of a deeply eroded dry riverbed. It is advisable to visit this geological phenomenon in the early morning or late afternoon, as the heat during midday becomes unbearable, especially during summer time.
