Things to do in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu: The Best Museums
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.

Its indeed a must visit place near Kodaikkanal. There is a good collection of different specie of birds, animals, reptiles and insects. The museum is well maintained and the entrance fee is very small amount. The curator is a very knowledgeable person. The very campus of the museum is a historic place.
