Actually, it is exactly true! On a haughty mountain, in Wayanad, there stands
the tallest rock formation which can be observed from far away, which on first
sight gives you the peek look of Phantom’s face. For this reason, the rock has

metamorphic rock. Travelers visit the place to get the view of this astonishing
rock formation but the trek to this hill is really hard and since no guidance
