Tips

If you have extra time, add a half‑day visit to the nearby Berijam Lake for birdwatching, or shorten the itinerary by skipping the horse‑riding session and focusing on the main scenic spots. Pack layers, as Kodaikanal weather changes quickly, and carry snacks for the kids to keep energy levels up during hikes.
