Kodaikanal is one of the most visited hill stations
in Peninsular India. The place is situated at
the altitude of 2100 meters amidst beautiful Palani
Hills. Kodaikanal is 120 Kilometers from the city
of Madurai that is situated close to the foothills
of Palani. Kodaikanal is a place that is completely
secluded from the madding crowd and that is what
makes it one of the very few loveable hill stations
in India. This is the reason why those who visited
this hill station have come back enchanted and
thrilled.
The name Kodaikanal in Tamil means the "gift
of the forest". Situated in the state of
Tamilnadu, Kodaikanal is one of the very few unaltered
and unadulterated destinations of southern India.
Kodaikanal has created a niche for itself with
its intoxicating air, breathtaking scenery and
serenity that you can hardly find in any hill
station in the Himalayas. |
