Start your honeymoon by visiting the heart of Kodaikanal, the beautiful Kodaikanal Lake. This man-made lake is surrounded by lush greenery and serene hills. You can enjoy a peaceful boat ride with your partner and admire the scenic beauty of the lake. The evening view of boats floating on the lake with misty mountains in the backdrop is breathtaking. Visit here early in the morning to enjoy the morning mist and serene atmosphere.
Coaker's Walk is a perfect place to enjoy a romantic walk with your spouse while enjoying the panoramic view of surrounding mountains and hills. This 1 km long paved pedestrian pathway starts from the Kodaikanal Lake and ends at the Green Valley View point. During the walk, you can witness beautiful valleys, lush forests, and the stunning view of Dolphin's Nose (rock formation) through the Telescope House. The best time to visit Coaker's Walk is early in the morning when everything is covered in mist and looks ethereal.
After a romantic walk, head towards the Bryant Park, a botanical garden located near Kodaikanal Lake. It is home to several beautiful and exotic plants, shrubs, and trees. The park also features a glasshouse which is an attraction in itself. The glasshouse showcases a variety of flowers, including Dahlias, Carnations, and Orchids. If you are a nature lover or have a keen interest in plants, this place is a must-visit.
Head towards the Pillar Rocks that are three adjacent granite boulders standing vertically shoulder to shoulder. The viewpoint at these rocks provides a breathtaking view of the valley below. You can also enjoy a refreshing cup of tea at the tea shops located near the rocks.
The Guna Caves are known for their unique and mysterious history. The caves were named after a Tamil movie "Guna" starring Kamal Hassan, a significant part of which was shot here. These caves have created a lot of curiosity among tourists due to their narrow entrance and slippery rocks that lead to a dark chamber with no light. However, be sure to check weather conditions before visiting, as it might get difficult to visit during the rainy season.
End your trip on a high note by visiting the Bear Shola Falls. It is a small and charming waterfall located in a serene jungle environment. The waterfall is a perfect place to enjoy some alone time with your spouse, as it is not that crowded. It is also believed to be a favorite spot of bears that used to come here to quench their thirst. The surroundings of this waterfall are perfect for a romantic photoshoot.
If you have more days to spend in Kodaikanal, you can visit other places such as the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory, Berijam Lake, or the Palani Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have less time, you can skip one of the places mentioned in the itinerary. Don't forget to carry comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and an umbrella with you, as the weather can be unpredictable.
