It's been long since I wanted to visit kodaikanal and finally was really happy to be there.After an overnight journey from Bangalore we reached kodaikanal at 8 am in the morning.The weather looked just perfect and we were fully charged to indulge in the beauty of the queen of the hill stations. We booked a taxi from the bus stand and headed towards kodai sunshine hotel in chettiar road. The hotel and the hotel staff were just the best and staying there was an amazing experience. After checking in we relaxed for sometime and headed out for sight seeing around 1.30 pm.
Places visited : Upper lake view,Vattakanal falls,panambur falls, lion's cave, mountain view, dolphin's nose,echo point,500 years old tree, a church, coaker's walk. The taxi charged around 1600 for this.
Awesome breakfast at the hotel and then we headed for the jungle trip on Day 2 around 9.30 am in the morning. The trip was amazing filled with beautiful views everywhere inside the jungle.The cab charged rs 2100 approx for Day 2.
Places visited : Silent valley view,berijam lake,fire tower, pine tree forest,guna cave,pillar rock.
Amazing breakfast to start the day again. We checked out from the hotel and headed towards the main city. We planned not to take cab on the 3rd day as all the places we wanted to go where nearby. We started walking from the hotel and for the directions we had Google offline Map. Kodaikanal seemed much more beautiful when we explored by walking.
Places visited : kurinji andavar temple, chettiar park,bryant park,kodaikanal market,boating in kodaikanal lake,coaker's walk again.
Must try places to eat : Lunch at Astoria veg restaurant, pastry corner( ice cream and butter cake,woodlands hilltop.
Place to stay : kodai sunshine hotel at chettiar road.
The trip was indeed a memorable one. Few things which made it more were the perfect pleasant weather,the taxi drivers for both the days and the hotel staff at kodai sunshine hotel. A weekend well spent. Cheers !!!
