Hills and valleys filled with the enigmatic hug of mist, lush mountain ranges that offer a warm welcome to visitors, enjoyment and experiences that proffer beautiful memories for a lifetime – Kodaikanal is a wonder in ways much more than one.

If you’ve ever dreamt of being pampered by the lulling lullabies of Nature, and being embraced affectionately by the cool breeze that flows in from picturesque hill slopes, then Kodaikanal is indeed the place to be in to make those dreams come true. The scenic beauty of Kodaikanal never ceases to amaze travellers.  Referred to as the “Princess of Hills”, Kodaikanal is one of the most sought-after hill station destinations in Tamil Nadu and the whole of India. Located at about 7000 ft above the sea-level, Kodaikanal was established as a destination by British bureaucrats and Christian missionaries in the year of 1845. However, the earliest references to the stunning hill station can be found as early as the Sangam literature time. However the modern era of Kodaikanal began only after the British came in. It served as a summer retreat and a vacation spot for the colonial power. Ever since those days, Kodaikanal has been a popular choice among hill station lovers for a quick escape up the mountains.  The verdant hills, the cascading waterfalls, picturesque lakes, pristine countrysides – the reason why Kodaikanal has been popular among tourists are many. For a discerning traveller, the locale offers much to see, enjoy and experience. Plenty of activities await a visitor here. Boating, cycling, horse riding and trekking are some of the most common among them. One of the other spectacles of this region is the Kurinji flower that blooms only once in 12 years, making itself a unique spectacle to watch.

• How to Reach
• Best Time to Visit

Kodaikanal Bus Stand, within the town itself. Frequent bus services are available from Madurai Aarappalayam, Batlagundu, Palani, Oddanchatram, Kodai Road, and Dindigul.

Madurai International Airport, about 115 km away. Coimbatore International Airport, about 170 km away.

Palani Railway Station, 64 km away. Kodai Road Station, 80 km away. Regular train services from Madurai, Tiruchirappalli and Coimbatore.

Kodaikanal enjoys a cool and pleasant climate round the year. However, the best time to visit the hill station is from April to June when the weather is at its best.

Top Attractions

Berijam Lake

Situated in a forest conservation area, Berijam Lake is a haven for all Nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. If a quiet morning or evening by the lakeside surrounded by lush green woods is what you imagine as a place to unwind, then Berijam Lake is the perfect spot for you.

Pine Forest, Kodaikanal

Pine Forests are cloaked in a rustic charm, and walking under the canopy of these old pine trees will offer much-needed solitude for those seeking it.

Situated at an altitude of 2,200 metres, the Guna Caves are a thing of mystery and wonder that attracts travellers in hordes. Known earlier as 'Devil’s Kitchen', the place got its name 'Guna' after the 1992 Tamil blockbuster movie “Guna'' was shot here.

Kodaikanal Lake

The fame of Kodaikanal lake or Kodai lake has spread across states and it has become one of the favourite photographic spots and movie locations, even in Bollywood. There are resorts and hotels available around the lake where you can sit and enjoy the tranquillity of the lake and the enticing landscape around it.

TN tightens restrictions on inter-State registered buses impacting Kerala commuters

21 june 2024, 02:28 pm ist.

representational image

Thiruvananthapuram: In a jolt to several passengers, especially students from Kerala, the Tamil Nadu Motor Vehicle Department has intensified inspection on private buses registered in other States that ply through Tamil Nadu.

During a recent inspection in Coimbatore and Nagercoil, seven buses were seized. Private buses heading to Bengaluru were halted at the Vadasery bus stand in Nagercoil, leaving passengers stranded on Wednesday night.

Tamil Nadu Transport and Motor Vehicles Department also deployed additional inspection teams on Thursday. Authorities reiterated their warning against buses plying with passengers sans Tamil Nadu registration. Restrictions began on June 13, targeting buses operating without proper registration.

However, for tourism, weddings and family trips, such services can continue by collecting the information about the passengers. The new order prohibits these buses from operating like public transport– picking up from one location and dropping off at another within the State.

The move aims to address the financial losses incurred by the Tamil Nadu Express Transport Corporation as the vehicle tax revenue is going to other States. In response to the bus operators' demands, a deadline of June 18 was set for implementing the new regulations. The Transport Department has repeatedly informed bus owners about this order.

Tamil Nadu halts TVM-Bengaluru buses at midnight, leaves passengers stranded

Thiruvananthapuram: In an escalation of inter-state bus travel issues, Tamil Nadu on Wednesday halted Bengaluru-bound buses from Thiruvananthapuram. The buses were halted at midnight citing disputes in the One India One Tax policy.

Passengers were asked to disembark from the bus at midnight at Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu. Most passengers, including students, were Malayalis. Tamil Nadu MVD officials instructed them to find alternative transportation.

The widespread cancellation of inter-state bus services from Kerala to Tamil Nadu recently has significantly inconvenienced passengers. According to bus owners, cancellations were prompted by the Tamil Nadu Motor Vehicle Department's stringent stance on bus taxes. State bus operators assert that taxes were paid under the One India One Tax scheme, which Tamil Nadu authorities dispute.

Bus owners added that higher taxes were demanded for vehicle not registered in Tamil Nadu.
