OT Itinerary: Two Days In Kodaikanal, 'The Princess Of Hill Stations'

Situated in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats, Kodaikanal is brimming with nature-based attractions. Popularly known as the "princess of hill stations," the town, which is located 2,225 m above sea level, boasts waterfalls, lakes, forests and cliffs. In the Tamil language, kodai means "gift" and kanal means "forest." It's no surprise then that the region was a favourite of British officers during the colonial era, who would escape to its lush surroundings for a summer retreat.
