  It's a place of attraction. Where it says the pink stones. All I saw the white rocks and a little pink colours.. had a long walk towards the rock and a small hike to the top place. Not recommended to visit in hot weather.

  Calm, peaceful location. Visitors should be more respectful and avoid littering the place.

  Beautiful place to visit & be careful during the hiking. This stone is very sharp. Hence it will harm you......
