Kyu Lamhe Kharab kare, aa galti behisab kre at Kodaikanal!!! Mistakes to avoid when in Kodaikanal

Heading for a weekend getaway to Kodaikanal?? No worries.We have you covered.Here are the probable  mistakes which you should avoid :
1.  If you are confident enough to drive along the "U pin" bends on the hills, then donot give a second thought. Take your own vehicle since travelling across Kodaikanal is pretty expensive.Even for a minimum distance travelled between 1km to 3 Km, you have to pay Rs.300/- .This means for a round trip to and fro you would shed Rs.600/- .
2.  Being a hill town, markets close earlier than cities. So do restaurants.Although zomato and swiggy food delivery apps work in Kodaikanal, but orders can be placed maximum by 7 pm. Hence if you donot want to sleep empty stomach, either order before 7 or have your tummy filled before returning to your hotel room since many  hotels across Kodaikanal donot serve food.
3. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation away from crowd, do not visit on weekends.On weekends, the town is bubbling with tourists and you end up struck in traffic than enjoying the trip. Hence planning the trip adding 1 weekday will spare you the same traffic harassment of city life for avoiding which you had planned to go to a hill station.
4.Donot follow google maps to reach any place.There are high chances that google will show you some weird shortcuts of climbing up and down some fleet of stairs and you end up being stranded in the middle of nowhere.
5. Donot book hotel or homestay farther away from the star shaped Kodaikanal lake. The nearer you are to the lake, the probability of getting easy access to public transport increases.
6. Donot wear uncomfortable shoes or heels. You need to walk a lot in hillstations.So remeber to wear waterproof and comfortable shoes.
7. Donot dare to miss the picturesque sunrise at Kodaikanal.It will be one of the most beautiful sunrises you have even witnessed in your life
8. In Kodaikanal you get to witness the true vagaries of nature. Hence donot forget to carry an umbrella whenever you step out and try to wear quick dry aparells.
9. Donot forget to carry pain relief balms and sprays if you are not active and donot indulge in exercise and cycling daily.  Cycles are available to hire in the vicinity of the Kodaikanal lake and the view is so alluring that you will end up cycling 16km around the lake and might need pain relief sprays at night.
So get ready to witness summer, winter and monsoon- all seasons within 24 hours, head towards this hill town which is a true nature lover's paradise and beat the heat!!!
