Exploring Kodaikanal in July 2023

  1. Day 1: Coaker's Walk
    15 minutes (1.5 miles) from Kodaikanal bus stand

    Take a leisurely walk along the Coaker's Walk, a narrow pedestrian path that offers breathtaking views of the valley below. This scenic walkway stretches for about a kilometer and is lined with lush greenery and blooming flowers. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Vaigai Dam and the Periyakulam town. The walkway is well-maintained and has several benches to sit and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Don't forget to carry your camera to capture the stunning views along the way.

  2. Day 2: Pillar Rocks
    25 minutes (7 miles) from Coaker's Walk

    Visit the Pillar Rocks, a set of three massive rock formations that rise up to a height of about 400 feet. The viewpoint offers an awe-inspiring view of the rocks, which are believed to be around 3000 million years old. The site also has a small garden and several shops selling souvenirs and snacks. The best time to visit the Pillar Rocks is early in the morning or late in the evening, when the rocks are bathed in a warm golden light.

  3. Day 3: Berijam Lake
    1 hour 20 minutes (22 miles) from Pillar Rocks

    Take a trip to the Berijam Lake, a pristine reservoir that is surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. The lake is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and you can also spot several species of birds and animals in the surrounding wilderness. However, visitors need to obtain a special permission from the Forest Department to visit the lake, and the number of visitors per day is limited. Make sure to apply for the permit well in advance to avoid any last-minute hassles.
