Kodaikanal Lake is a stunning man-made lake, surrounded by lush green hills, and is one of the main attractions of Kodaikanal. The best time to visit is at sunrise or sunset, and you can hire boats to explore the lake. You can also find some local stores and restaurants around the lake.
Coaker's Walk is an ideal spot for adventurous travellers, located along a steep slope on the mountainside, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The narrow, 1-km-long paved pathway passes through a misty forest, and you can often spot monkeys along the way. Make sure to carry some snacks with you.
If you have more time in Kodaikanal, you can also explore the beautiful Berijam Lake, situated 21 km away from the town, which is open only from 9:30 AM to 3 PM. You can also plan a trek to Dolphin's Nose, located 8 km from Kodaikanal. Just make sure to stay hydrated and carry comfortable shoes. If you have less time in Kodaikanal, skip a visit to Coaker's Walk.
