Start your journey in Coimbatore. Visit the Marudhamalai Hill Temple, dedicated to Lord Muruga. Afterward, drive to Eachanari Vinayagar Temple, one of the oldest temples in Coimbatore. From there, head to the Adiyogi Shiva Statue, the world's largest bust statue at 112 feet tall.
Get an early start and head to the hill station of Kodaikanal, also known as the "Princess of Hill stations." Visit the Bryant Park, filled with flowers and trees. Take a scenic boat ride on Kodaikanal Lake. Stroll through the Coaker's Walk, a boulevard with panoramic views.
Start the day with a visit to the Pillar Rocks, a set of three giant rock pillars standing at a height of 400 feet. Next, stop at the Green Valley Viewpoint, also known as the Suicide Point. For those who enjoy hiking, take a trek to the Dolphin's Nose, a flat rock protruding over a cliff that resembles the shape of a dolphin.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Perumal Peak, the highest peak in Kodaikanal. You can also go shopping in the local markets for souvenirs. If you have less time, skip the Bryant Park and Coaker's Walk and opt for a trek to the Chettiar Park instead. Be prepared for unpredictable weather conditions and bring warm clothing.
