Start your Kodaikanal exploration with Coakers Walk, a scenic walking path that offers breathtaking views of the valleys and mountains. It will take around 30-40 minutes to complete, and you can stop by various viewpoints to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Afterward, head to Bryant Park, a beautiful botanical garden that features a range of flora, including dahlias, roses, and lilies. You can chill out with your partner in the serene environment and take a romantic walk around the park. The park also offers boating facilities to add more romance to your day.
Begin your day at Kodai Lake, a serene man-made lake surrounded by lush greenery. You can hire a pedal boat, rowboat, or horse-drawn carriage to explore the lake's beauty, and its serene surroundings provide the perfect environment for an intimate picnic with your loved one. After spending some quality time at the lake, head over to the Kurinji Andavar Temple, a renowned temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. The temple is famous for its association with the kurinji flower that blooms once in twelve years. The serene environment and temple's unique architecture make it a must-visit spot in Kodaikanal.
If you have more time, you can add a few more romantic spots, such as Pillar Rocks, Bear Shola Falls, and Silent Valley Viewpoint attraction. For food, don't miss out on Kodaikanal's famous street food, including kodi bonda (spicy mini dumplings) and cutlet (fried snacks). You can avoid going on weekends as most of the tourist spots get crowded, and you may not enjoy the romantic ambiance. On the other hand, if you have less time, you can skip the Kurinji Andavar Temple and instead explore the Poombarai Village, famous for its beautiful temples and scenic views of the hills.
