Kodaikanal
Tour
Nestling amidst the folds of the verdant Pali Hills, is
the idyllic retreat of Kodaikanal, popularly known as
Kodai. Apart from being a much sought after tourist
resort, Kodai is also famous for its educational
institutions, which are globally renown.
The resort is, virtually, a heaven for trekkers and avid
nature lovers. Amongst its other natural attractions is
a star - shaped lake, set in a dreamy locale. The Boat
Club offers umpteen pleasure and racing trips. The
splendid Bryant Park, famous for its rare collection of
flowers, graftings and hybrids, is the venue of great
horticultural shows, held every year in May. Another
major attraction of this area, is the country's only
Solar Physical Laboratory, founded in 1898.
The Coaker's Walk offers some fantastic views of the
surrounding plains. Another superb vantage point, is the
Kurinji Andavar temple, dedicated to Lord Murugan, which
provides a panoramic view of the lofty hills, that
embrace Kodaikanal. Some of the popular picnic spots in
the resort, are the Green Valley View, Pillar Rocks, and
Bear Shola Falls. Nature seems to have blessed Kodai in
all her magnanimity, a fact evident from the immense
profusion of exotic flora and fauna of the area. The
amazing orchid collection at the Shenbaganur Museum, has
granted Kodai international fame. Kodai is also blessed
with the rare bloom of the highly elusive Kurinji
flower, that makes a dramatic appearance, once in 12
years. The Kurinji last bloomed in 1992. The resort is
also home to various species of birds, thus rendering it
a bird - watcher's delight.
Kodaikanal promises to be an ideal getaway, for those
craving for an invigorating yet soothing holiday, away
from the madness of the city.
