Begin the day with a breathtaking stroll through Coaker's Walk, a pedestrian pathway that offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The 1-kilometer walkway is adorned with lush green trees that provide shade and you can spot different birds en-route. The walkway leads to the Green Valley Viewpoint which has spellbinding views of the valley.
Plan a day trip with your family to the Berijam Lake. Surrounded by reserved forests and stunning landscapes, the lake offers boat rides for tourists. You can indulge in trekking, camping, picnics, and bird watching. The beauty of the lake and the sound of the chirping birds make this a perfect retreat.
Wrap up your trip with a visit to Bryant Park which has a wonderful and colorful botanical garden. The serene Kodaikanal Lake is just across the park. You can enjoy a peaceful boat ride with your family. The lake also offers horseback riding and cycling. The surrounding hills and the cool breeze altogether enhance the beautiful lake's experience.
If you have more time, you can plan a day trip to the majestic Pillar Rocks which is a 40-minute drive from Kodaikanal Bus Stand. If you're visiting during the winter season, do not forget to pack warm clothes and good sturdy shoes as the temperature drops to sub-zero during this season. Keep a bottle of water and some snacks handy during the day tours. Avoid visiting vegetable markets or sites after twilight.
