Hotels
 Nature
at her most beautiful. Where the ochre earth sayly
covers herself in emerald silk-That is studded with
gems of sheer, glittering water. The mist is her
shawl, covering her with mystique and magic. And
amidst all this is you, nature's own creation. The
place is Kodaikknal, secludely situated 2100 meters
above sea level, in the beautiful palani Hills.
Kodaikkanal
is 120 Kms from the bustling city of Maudrai and at
least tens and thousands of Kilometers from the
mundane. Perhaps why those who visited this hill
station have come back enchanted and thrilled.
The
wooded slopes of kodaikkanal are filled with
surprises. Kurinji a plant special to that region,
turns the slopes into a sea of purple- once in 12
years!
Kodaikanal
lies at the latitude 10deg7' N to 10deg20' N and
longitude 77deg16' E to 77deg45' E on the southern tip
of upper palani hills in the western ghats at an
altitude of 2133m. The unique flowering plant 'Kurunji'
that last bloom in 1992, is the nature's gift to
Kodaikkannal. The slopes of the hill will be covered
by the purple carpet during it's season. Step out of
your room and right onto a star shaped sheet of
glittering water. Yes, the kodai lake dominates this
sleepy hill station. But wait a minute, the lake is
actually man-made Go on, take that boats and paddles
away. A short walk from the lake (yes, walking is the
best way to reach any place interesting in tiny Kodai)
and you can enjoy a magnificent display put by nature
at Bryant's perk.
Those
with stars in their eyes, can catch a glimpse of the
heavens (literally speaking) at the Solar Observatory
and from Kodai's two telescope houses.
