About Kodaikanal

Known as the 'Princess of Hill Stations,' Kodaikanal is a charming hill station located in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats. The town is centered around the man-made, star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake, which is a hub for boating and cycling. Kodaikanal is known for its cool, misty climate and its beautiful natural attractions, including viewpoints like Coaker's Walk and Pillar Rocks, and the serene Berijam Lake. The town's forests are famous for the Kurinji flower, which blooms only once every twelve years, covering the hills in a sea of blue.
