Start the day with a panoramic view of the valley on Coaker's Walk, a mountainous pathway stretching 1 km built on the steep slopes. The view of the valley and surrounding mountains here is astounding. You can choose to hire a guide that provides good knowledge about the surrounding nature, including the Dolphin's Nose viewpoint. The place offers surreal sunsets, and the chilly breeze feels refreshing. So, get your camera ready for some breathtaking photos.
On your second day, take a hike down to the Dolphin's Nose viewpoint. Along the way, you'll find many beautiful waterfalls, like the Pambar falls and the Bear Shola falls, that will refresh you. A trek down to Dolphin's nose will take you into the depths of the beautiful Nilgiris Hills, where you can witness the stunning landscape of the mountains. The highlight of this trek is reaching the Dolphin's Nose viewpoint, which offers a panoramic view of the Catherine Falls and the Periyakulam town. Don't forget to wear proper hiking gear and keep water bottles with you.
For adventure lovers, Kodaikanal has a lot to offer. If you have more than two days, then you can add a few more places like Guna Cave and Pillar Rocks. Guna Cave is a natural cave formed between two large rocks, and Pillar Rocks gives you a beautiful view of the Seven Virgins mountain ranges. It is advisable to visit during the non-monsoon season to avoid difficulty travelling around the area. Trekking shoes and warm clothes are a must-pack. However, if you have less than two days, you can skip places depending on your preference and ensure that it's open in your scheduled time to avoid disappointment.
