Kodaikanal Tourism

Kodaikanal, also known as Kodai, is a beautiful hill station at an altitude of about 2,133 m high on the southern ridge of Palani hills in Western Ghats. Kodaikanal, the name itself means 'gift of the forest' in Tamil. The thick lush greenary that surrounds the place completely adds to the beauty. There is scenic grandeur and many alluring locales including the spectacular Pillar Rocks, the serene Coaker's Walk and many magnificent waterfalls. The pleasant climate makes the place accessible all round the year and reasonable rates as well as the multi-cuisine food available does lure tourists.

.I would suggest a visit to this beautiful city to any traveler not only because of the beautiful landscape but also because of the hospitable nature of the people here. The hospitality of the people was so avid once I reached Gangtok. And then there were so many places to see in Gangtok like the Nathu La Pass, Tosmgo Lake and the Mountanieering Institiute.
