Your Guide to Exploring Kodaikanal

Kodaikanal is a well-established hill station located at an altitude of around 2,100 meters in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats. It was developed during the British era as a retreat from the heat of the plains. The town is centered around the star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake, which acts as a focal point for most tourist activity.

The area is known for its dense forests, cliffs, and valleys, along with attractions like Bryant Park, Silver Cascade Falls, and Guna Caves. It also has access to trekking trails, including routes toward Dolphin’s Nose and Kurinji Andavar Temple areas. The region occasionally blooms with Neelakurinji flowers (once every 12 years), which is a major natural event.
