Kodaikanal is a charming hill station, stands amidst sylvan beauty on the southern crest of the upper Palani Hills near Madurai in Tamil Nadu. With its rocks, woods, lovely lake and bracing air, Kodaikanal is an ideal hill resort for the tourists. (www.kodaikanal.com). It took us almost 4 hours to reach our target from Madurai at 10.30 am, we had Punjabi breakfast & then hired a tourist cab to view the misty hill station.
First we took a walk in Coaker walk It is a narrow pedestrian path, constructed by Lt. Coaker in 1872, a one kilometer mountain road which runs along the edge of steep slopes on the southern side of Kodai road. Philomen church was quite a peaceful place, then we saw the Pine forest where many film shootings have taken place, lovely atmosphere, followed by Pillar rocks, silent forest, Guna caves & Silver cascade.
Kodai Lake was another lovely tourist spot, many tourists walk around, sail on, ride on horses & cycles and admire the lake. I & jasmine enjoyed the walk around the striking lake while Prati took a cycling round. Finally we missed our bus & yet another adventure struggling to reach home. All’s well that ends well; we somehow managed getting 2 break buses & at last we covered the 4 hours journey back to Madurai.
