Perched majestically in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu at an elevation of 7,200 feet, Kodaikanal stands as the 'Princess of Hill Stations,' offering visitors a perfect blend of natural splendor and colonial charm. This enchanting hill retreat, established as a summer resort by American missionaries in 1845, boasts a year-round pleasant climate making it an ideal escape from the plains below.
The crown jewel of Kodaikanal is the pristine star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake, where visitors can enjoy peaceful pedal boating, cycling, or horseback riding. The town's colonial heritage comes alive at Coaker's Walk with spectacular views, while the towering Pillar Rocks and mystical Guna Caves offer breathtaking vistas. Bryant Park's botanical gardens and the cascading Silver Cascade Falls add to the natural beauty.
Kodaikanal's adventure offerings include trekking trails to Dolphin's Nose viewpoint, Green Valley View, and Perumal Peak - the highest point at 8,842 feet. The region's unique ecosystem supports rare kurinji flowers that bloom once every 12 years, painting the hills purple.
Whether seeking romantic walks through pine forests, spiritual solace, or adventure in the Palani Hills, Kodaikanal delivers an unforgettable mountain retreat experience with local markets offering homemade chocolates and traditional handicrafts.
