Exploring The Princess Of Hill Stations
Kodaikanal is the only Indian hill station to be developed by the Americans. The traces of its legacy can be found in generous measure across the town in the form of distinct stone architecture. The Britons soon followed suit and converted Kodai into their summer retreat. What one sees today is a graceful amalgamation of Victorian charm and laid-back American vibe, blessed by thick, cumulous mist, a quintessential feature of the Western Ghats.
Kodaikanal itineraries include boating, cycling, balloon shooting, long walks, trekking, and more. There are plenty of picturesque campsites to pitch a tent at as well. The unreal greenery of the Green Valley, the calm that envelops Kodai Lake, Silver Cascade Falls, Dolphins’ Valley, and Silent Valley demand a minimum of 4 days to truly experience why Kodaikanal is one of South India’s gems.
