The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu
Kodaikanal has an endangered animal called the grizzled giant squirrel. To us, that alone is reason to book a trip ("grizzled giant squirrel" might be the best animal name ever). Perched on the woodsy southern crest of the Palani Hills, nearly 7,000 feet above sea level, this popular lakeside resort town is a magnet for nature lovers. Wander the peaceful slopes, keeping an eye out for birds, exotic flowers and, of course, grizzled giant squirrels.

Take a walk around the lake or get on cycle for a round, you will wonder if you are in a European city. Take a peddle boat from the Boat Club and admire century old houses while you are on the lake. Best time from morning till evening 4pm.

Serene waterfall amidst forest.. Just 15 mins drive from the 7 Roads junction.. It is on the way to Dolphin Nose view point.. After deviating from the Golf Links Road towards Dolphin Nose, travel for about 1km, and then you can ask the localites or the taxi drivers for the exact location to get down to the waterfall.. It involves steep downhill trek from the road for about 10 mins.. You can get into the water and take lovely pics.. Water level is just about knee length, so there is no possibility of swimming.. There is no changing room as well.. There are 3-4 falls in the same stream within 10 minutes of trek.. You can trek down the stream to see all of them, however, the rocks are quite slippery.. It's an amazing place for people who enjoy the nature and love to take photos.. It's worth the time and effort for visiting this beautiful waterfall..
