Kodaika

Perched nearly 7,000 feet above sea level on the southern tip of the Palani Hills in Tamil Nadu, Kodaikanal isn’t just another hill station. While the northern Indian hill stations of Shimla and Manali often steal the spotlight, Kodai offers a quieter, mistier, and more botanical magic. Its name translates from Tamil to "The Gift of the Forest," and once you step onto its winding paths, you’ll understand why.

Plan for at least 3 days. Leave your hurry behind. Let the mist do its work.
