Useful Tips

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.
