The One Tree Hill Point, as the name suggests, is the only tree that has grown on the plateau and lies towards the southern end of Table Land. The Pandava footsteps are a truly interesting and undoubtedly rare attraction of this plateau. There are actual footsteps of the five Pandavas embossed into the ground of Table Land! You will be amazed by the sizes and depth of these footsteps that have managed to stay intact even after all these centuries.

After finishing all the sightseeing and admiring the magnificent view, you can indulge in some mouth-watering snacks and refreshments that are available at the many kiosks that have set up camp at this frequently visited plateau.
