Start your day at Coakers walk, a kilometer-long pedestrian path that's perfect for a morning stroll while enjoying the panoramic views of the distant lakes and hills. Afterward, visit the well-maintained Bryant Park adjacent to Coakers Walk, exhibiting an impressive collection of exotic plants from various parts of the world.
Day two is reserved for nature adventures. Start by enjoying a serene boat ride down the Kodaikanal Lake's shimmering waters. Next up, head over to the Guna Caves, a serene spot strewn with colossal boulders and hidden valleys surrounded by dense vegetation. You can explore the dark caves or have a picnic in the spacious clearing.
On the final day in Kodaikanal, head to the popular tourist attraction, the Pillar Rocks. These three giant rock pillars, each standing over 120m tall, provide breathtaking views of the surrounding natural beauty. A short 15-minute drive away is the Silent Valley View, and the place is rightfully named so. It is an excellent spot to relax and enjoy the serenity, giving you a beautiful sight of the valley below.
If you have an extra day, consider visiting the Berijam Lake and taking the Dolphin's Nose trek for more breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. However, if you're short on time, skip visiting the Bryant Park and have a picnic lunch or a boat ride on the Kodaikanal Lake instead.
