Sightseeing in Kodaikanal

Although cities have their own charm, long days within rows of concrete houses that block out the beauty of the sky, evenings filled with television and roads with sparse greenery peppered with drifts of hot dust, can sap our energy and leave us longing for the simplicity and serenity of the outdoors. 

Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu recharges your body, mind, heart and soul. This hill station has a pleasant, cool climate that allows you to take  treks along forested paths, sip on tea as you take in the enchanting vistas and sight the indigenous wildlife that make the hills their home. Sightseeing in Kodaikanal is a delight for naturalists with a plethora of natural wonders that will leave you speechless. If you love lakes, Kodai Lake, Berijam Lake and Mannavanur Lake are azure slices of heaven with glistening water that reflects the creamy clouds on its surface and lotus blossoms unfurling their petals during the summer season. You can skip rocks across the water or pack a picnic to have on its green banks as you take in the gorgeous vista.
