Start your day with a stroll on Coakers Walk, a beautiful 1-kilometer-long pathway that offers stunning views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and forests. In the morning, the misty atmosphere adds to the charm of the place. Take in the breathtaking vistas of the valley and hillsides and enjoy the serene surroundings. In the afternoon, head to Bryant Park, a botanical garden that spreads over 20 acres, with over 700 varieties of trees, cacti, and flowers. Indulge in a picnic lunch on the lush green lawns. In the evening, visit the Kodaikanal Lake, a man-made lake that offers boating facilities. Take a leisurely boat ride and watch the sunset from the lake.
Begin your day by visiting the Pillar Rocks, a set of three giant rock pillars that rise to a height of 400 feet. The view of the pillars against the backdrop of the lush green mountains is a sight to behold. In the afternoon, head to Guna Caves, a network of hidden caves that are believed to have been discovered only recently. These caves have an interesting history and legends attached to them. In the evening, visit the Bear Shola Falls, a serene waterfall that is surrounded by dense forests. Enjoy the lovely scenery, listening to the sound of the cascading water.
