Coaker's Walk, a picturesque promenade, is the perfect spot for your first-day adventure. You will witness stunning views of the lush green valley, Pillar Rocks, and the distant Vaigai Dam. The 1km stroll will take you through a colonial-era canopy and lovely gardens. Be sure to stop by **Echo Point** and shout out to hear your voice reverberate— it's such a delight for kids of all ages!
As you explore the Pine Forest, you'll feel like you've entered a whole new world. The aromatic pine trees surround you, creating a relaxing atmosphere. You could opt for one of the horse rides or cycle through the forest, especially if you have younger children. Kodai's unique natural beauty is on full display here.
Spanning over 60 acres, Kodaikanal lake is one of the town's most popular tourist attractions. It's great for a quick paddle, boat ride, or a guided nature tour, which is not only engaging for kids but educational too. You'll be stunned at the scenic view of the misty hills surrounding the water. Take the opportunity to savour some street food like, **Samosas**, **Bhutta** and **Tea**.
Located adjacent to the lovely Kodaikanal lake, The Bryant Park is home to over 325 varieties of exotic flowers, and you'll find lovely walking trails where you can enjoy them. Next head to Green Valley view, an epitome of natural beauty draped in greenery. The steep gorge with winding roads is undoubtedly breathtaking. Be sure to take in the stunning panoramic views of the Vaigai Dam.
If you have more time, the **Bear Shola Falls** and **Pambar Falls** are incredible waterfalls in the area and worth adding to your itinerary. For a unique cultural experience, **Kurinji Andavar Temple** is an ideal place to visit. However, note that the temple is closed on Tuesdays. If you have less time, we suggest skipping Green Valley view and visiting **Dolphin's Nose** instead, a viewpoint that provides a panoramic view of the surrounding region.
