Kodaikanal is the Hill Station, which is located in the southern Indian state of Tamilnadu. It is famous for it's natural wildlife, lush forests, valleys, lakes and waterfalls. Kodaikanal is famous for its chocolates. Now lets look at some popular tourist attractions in Kodaikanal.

Mannavanur Lake:

Many Birds can be spotted, flying freely. As Mannavanur lake is located inside a sheep farm, flocks of sheep can be found grazing in the green valley. The Mannavanur Lake is an ideal place with the peaceful and natural surroundings.

Apart from picnics and walks, we can also go for rides. The Forest Department charges a fixed price for each ride. As we all knew, Horse rides are also the popular activity to do here. I spent time in here wandering it's beauty.



Kurinji Andavar Temple:

This great Temple was constructed on 1936, by Lady Leelavathi Ramanathan. She was inspired by the Indian Culture, on which she was converted into an Hindu. People often come to this temple to admire it's rare Kurinji Flowers. These Flowers, which bloom every twelve years, are considered to be holy. 

Just when we step out from the temple, we can have the mesmerizing view of the Pazhani Mountains.

This Temple is denoted to lord Muruga. The place is a calm and devoted place.





Coakers Walk:

The Travel to Kodaikanal is incomplete without the visit to Coaker's Walk, a beautiful man-made one km long walking plaza. This is built among the gigantic mountains in the beautiful city of Kodaikanal.

The Coaker's Walk was built in the year of 1872, by Lieutenant Coaker. In this walk, we can see the big mountains joined by the steep slope of the hill. There are small stalls in the corner of the paths.




Guna Cave:

An American named B.E Ward, had discovered the place in  1821. The Movie 'Guna' was shot here. The place is very dangerous because of the vast caves. This place is also known as' The Devil's Kitchen'. As per the history, the word 'Devil' comes from the dangerous wildlife bats which live inside the caves.

The Huge Trees in the Caves are grown in an unique way.



Chettiar Park :

The park is constructed in and old style. There are lots and lots of flowers and bushes, which will make you fall in love with them. The timings for Chettiar park is 9 am to 5 pm. They would charge a 20 rupees for adults.

This place is perfectly suitable for photographs. And I really enjoyed this place and mostly spent half an hour on wandering around. 



Pine Forests:

The Pine forest are covered with thick trees like pines, eucalyptus, Shola trees and many more. The timings for pine forest is 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. And the the entry fee is free!

H.D Bryant began growing the development of pine trees in the forest. The place is so calm and peaceful. I loved to take photographs at this point. If we visit the place on January to July, we can find the best growth of the pine trees.
