Trip to kodaikanal

During my ug summer vacation me along with my friends had a trip to Kodaikanal. It is a city in the hills of the taluk division of the Dindigul district in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Its name in the Tamil language means "The Gift of the Forest". Kodaikanal is referred to as the "Princess of Hill stations".We left Malppuram, kerala on 9th April 2016 & reached next day early morning 6.30. And we checked in a resort and have our breakfast. after breakfast we started exploring the resort. After resort exploration, we went to the Coakers walk. Coakers walk is a very famous tourist destination in Kodaikanal. It is 500 metres from the bus-stand, constructed by Lt.Coaker in 1872. It is a 1-kilometre paved pedestrian path running along the edge of steep slopes on the southern side of Kodai. On a clear day one can view the deep valley and stunning panoramic view of the plains.

We completed the full 1 Km of walk (one way). Finally we settled ourselves on a bench placed on side of walkway from where one can enjoy the panoramic view of valley, plain and towns. Our next location was guna cave, Guna cave Named after Kamal Haasan movie Guna whose shooting was done here.lt is a very deep cave with dangerous slopes. Area around the cave is guarded with iron grills. You can get the view of cave from a distance only.our next location was pillars rock, Pillars rock A nice valley where two rocks are standing side-by-side and will give you a feeling of "Petronas Towers" of Malaysia. View of the valley is very nice from this place. It was a very cloudy day and after a wait of 15-20 mins we were able to see the Pillars rock, which was covered under clouds till then. Clouds were coming and going, giving a hide and seek view of pillars rock the next location is kodai lake, A big lake in between the Kodai town. Rowboats and pedalos can be hired at the Kodaikanal Boat Club, The Carlton. Horses and bicycles can be hired beside the lake for short periods.

After the koldai lake visit we returned to resort and travelled back to home.
