A honeymooner’s paradise, Kodaikanal is a popular hill station for all the right reasons. Surrounded with forests and lakes, Kodaikanal is every hiker’s dream. As it is so commercialised, the stay options are in plenty and good. Lookout for vintage cottage stays with scenic views — those are the best options we say. Kodaikanal has a few amazing cafes and restaurants too. Referred to as the Princess of Hill Stations, Kodaikanal has always served as a getaway from the heat, right from the colonial era. The weather is pleasant all through the year, and is a perfect spot for pitching a tent and camping. The views are promising, and the drive is great.
