Kodaikanal Travel Guide

Set 2100 metres above sea level, Kodaikanal is a popular hill station retreat in South India. The cool climes of Kodai offer holiday makers respite from the steamy plains of Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states. Encompassed by verdant slopes that are punctuated by waterfalls and cascades, Kodai presents some awesome scenic views of the plains below.

The surrounding forests provide great trekking trails for the outdoor enthusiast and if you are not too adventurous, the Lake located at the heart of the Kodai town is the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll or boat ride.

The literal translation of Kodaikanal is Shade in the summer - and how apt it is!
