Kodaikanal Lake is a perfect spot for families looking for a peaceful and scenic environment. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery and is a popular picnic spot. You can take a boat ride in serene waters or enjoy a horse ride on the banks of the lake. The stunning views make it a favourite spot for photographers. The lake has several food and snack stalls; you can savour local food while enjoying the scenic landscape.
Coaker's Walk is a perfect place for a pleasant morning stroll with your family. It is a pedestrian pathway, 1 km long, offering splendid panoramic views of the green valleys, clouds, and mountains. The walkway ends at a viewpoint named "Devil's Kitchen", which provides a breathtaking view of the scenic backdrop. You can also shop for souvenirs and local handicrafts at shops along the way. In the evening, you can visit the nearby Bryant Park, which has a wide variety of plants and flowers.
If you have more time, you can explore other attractions like the Dolphin's Nose, Pillar Rocks, or Bear Shola Falls. These attractions have specific timings, so it is recommended to check beforehand if they are open. If you have less time, you can skip Bryant Park or Coaker's Walk. However, Kodaikanal Lake is a must-visit place as it offers an amazing experience on its own. Avoid visiting during peak seasons, as the attraction is likely to be overcrowded, plan your itinerary before travelling, and carry adequate warm clothing during winters as Kodaikanal can get quite cold during that time.
