The journey

Leave Coimbatore behind for a scenic short holiday in the mist-laden Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu. The winding road climbs through the Western Ghats into Kodaikanal, where cool pine air, shola forests, and sweeping valley viewpoints welcome you. You will stay for two nights in this peaceful hill retreat.

Over three days, you will walk the clifftop rim at Coaker's Walk, wander through Bryant Park, and explore scenic wonders including Pillar Rocks, Green Valley View, Bear Shola Falls, and Dolphin's Nose. Spend leisurely evenings by Kodai Lake, browse the local markets for souvenirs, and return smoothly to Coimbatore.
