Welcome to the Princess of Hill Stations
Kodaikanal feels dreamy from the start. Pine forests, misty cliffs, winding roads, and a calm star-shaped lake at the center give the town a soothing charm. The weather stays cool, and mornings often begin with fog slowly lifting from the hills. It’s perfect for honeymooners, families, and anyone who enjoys scenic walks, boating, and peaceful mountain views.
Must-Visit Attractions in Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal Lake
This iconic star-shaped lake is the heart of the town. You can go boating, cycling around the perimeter, or simply sit on the banks and enjoy the breeze.
Coaker’s Walk
A beautiful paved pathway along the edge of a steep slope, Coaker’s Walk offers sweeping valley views. On clear days you can see clouds floating below and distant villages.
Pillar Rocks
These tall, imposing rock formations stand side by side, often wrapped in mist. The viewpoint offers dramatic scenery and is a favorite photography spot.
Bryant Park
Located near the lake, Bryant Park is filled with colorful flowers, glasshouses, and landscaped lawns. It’s ideal for relaxed evening strolls and family outings.
Guna Caves (Devil’s Kitchen)
Surrounded by dense pine forests, these caves have a mysterious feel and are linked with local legends. The walk through tall trees to reach the viewpoint is as enjoyable as the site itself.
