Begin your trip to Kodaikanal with a refreshing walk on Coaker's Walk. This pathway offers a spectacular view of the valley and the surrounding hills. Get mesmerized by the misty atmosphere and pleasant weather. You can also capture some great clicks of the valley from several viewpoints along the walk. You can also find a few vendors here selling traditional handicrafts and souvenirs.
After the walk, head towards Bryant Park, which is well-known for its exotic and rare collections of ornamental plants and flowers. It's a great location for taking selfies, relaxing or having a picnic with your family. The park has many benches and lawns, so you can enjoy the beauty of the different flowers and plants. Don't forget to see the glasshouse, which exhibits various flowers, and you can buy some interesting items at the garden shop.
Start day 2 by taking a leisurely walk to the beautiful Bear Shola Falls. The cascading waterfall gets its name from the bear's presence who came here to drink water. With a height of 40 feet, the waterfall offers one of the best scenic experiences in Kodaikanal. During monsoon, you will see the water flowing down with full gush, but it is a serene pool during summers.
End your trip with a visit to the beautiful Kodai Lake, where you can take a boat ride and experience its beauty. The magnificent setting, filled with hills around the lake, makes it an ideal place for a romantic or peaceful walk, and you can enjoy various activities such as cycling, horse riding, and more. The lake has many options for food and beverages, and you can have a memorable evening with a great view of the sunset.
If you have extra time, visit the Green Valley View, which is a 14 km drive from Kodaikanal Bus Stand, and offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Alternatively, you can visit the Silver Cascade Falls, which is 8 km from the town, or the Kurinji Andavar Temple, which is a famous temple, dedicated to Lord Murugan.
If you have less time, you can skip Bryant Park and plan a trip to the Pine Forest, which is close to the Bear Shola Falls, and offers an excellent spot for relaxation and a small picnic.
