Tucked away among the Palani Hills in Tamil Nadu, in South India, and jealously guarded like a prized jewel by the dark forests, is Kodaikanal. In fact, the name itself means 'gift of the forest' in Tamil. A more appropriate and evocative name could not have been imagined for this quaint, unspoilt little hill station, where the air is intoxicating, the scenery breathtakingly beautiful, and serenity seldom found in other hill stations.
Cradled in the southern crest of the upper Palani Hills, in the Western Ghats, 120 km from Madurai, Kodaikanal is located 2133 m above sea level.
The best way to spend time here is to walk leisurely around the place appreciating the beauty. Otherwise, there are facilities for boating, cycling, pony riding, angling, and playing golf. One can spend his/her time at the evenings in the clubs or search for the books in the nearby market. The region around Kodaikanal abounds in natural beauty and splendour and an excursion should be at the top of one's itinerary.
Important sites to explore in Kodaikanal are Kodaikanal Lake, Kodaikanal School, Lutheran Church and King Church, Colonial structure, Bryant's Park, Coaker's Walk, Green Valley View, Kodai Club, and Golf Links.
