Tourist Places In Kodaikanal

The whole city of Kodaikanal is centered around a star-shaped man-made lake, the Kodaikanal Lake. This lake is one of the most popular Kodaikanal attractions where travelers can spend some quality time with their loved ones, indulge in activities like angling, and boating, or just take a peaceful stroll across the calm shore of the lake.

Being a hill station, this city never fails to impress the nature lovers with its abundant natural beauty that clearly reflects through the mesmerizing beauty of Kodaikanal attractions. Coaker’s Walk is one such charming spot in the city where one can bask in the serenity of nature, and indulge in an unending affair with nature. This narrow path is one of the most interesting Kodaikanal tourist destinations where travelers can indulge in a scenic walk along the steep slopes of the Kodai road, and spectate marvelous bird’s eye view of places like Dolphin's nose, the valley of the Pambar river, and even the city of Madurai.

Other popular Kodaikanal destinations include places like Bear Shola Falls and Pillar Rocks. Bear Shola is a seasonal waterfall that oozes out the full flow of water during the monsoon season. To reach the base of this fall, one has to hike through the thick forests of the hilly region. Pillar Rocks is a viewpoint, and one of the most famous Kodaikanal local sightseeing places which boast of a serene garden, and a small restaurant that serves lip-smacking local culinary delights.

While visiting Tamil Nadu, one cannot miss out on a religious tour of the numerous temples in the city.

Kurinji Andavar is one of the most popular Kodaikanal India points of interest for Hindus, as this temple is dedicated to Lord Murugan. No Kodaikanal sightseeing places list will be complete without including South India’s most renowned temple, the Subramanya Temple. This temple is of great importance to the locals, who climb 659 steps to reach the sanctum sanctorum. This temple also hosts two important festivals of Thaipusam and Panguni Uthiram.

If you are planning a Kodaikanal honeymoon trip then you must explore other natural wonders of the city other than the Kodai Lake. Some of the most captivating nature spots in Kodaikanal include places like Dolphin’s point, Green Valley, and Silent Valley where couples can find a tranquil, and peaceful environment to spend time with each other, and admire the beauty of nature as well.

Abhishek's 4 days trip to Kodaikanal

The trip plan and resort choice is good. But the driver is very very bad. Had worst experience with cab driver from the start of the trip. Where ever we start he’ll tells that that will be closed. The worst thing is even for dinner and lunch also if we ask for a certain place he finds many reasons not to go there. At start only we understood and requested travel agent to change the driver, they convinced and sent us. We had a very bad and worst memories where our entire happiest trip mood changed to hit discussions and fight with the driver. Entire spoiler of the trip The best thing travel agent did is booking the resorts. The resorts are really awesome and the service is excellent. The eagles dare is one good option we chose in ooty

Vaibhav's 3 days trip to Kodaikanal

It was a pleasurable experience on our hassle free trip to Kodaikanal! We would surely prefer Travel Triangle for our next holiday trips!

Vaibhav Dubey Bangalore

Ravi's 7 days trip to Kodaikanal

There were some initial hitches with my bookings as the agreed itenary were sold out once the payment was made but post that it was a smooth ride with Carlo travels. Only recommendation would be to be more careful and confirm about property avialbility before final bookings. A special mention for the cab service that they had provided 'South Tourism'. They were absolutely professional, disciplined and had a amazing fleet. Our driver Mr.Sridhar was very nice, he had hands on knowledge of all roads and and was very courteous. Would recommend Carlo travels to provide services from South Tourism to all their clients.
