Don’t you crave for a vacation where nobody could reach you and all you want to do is to surrender yourself to the beauty of nature? Well, Kodaikanal is the hill station you want to be at.  

Located in the beautiful Palani Hills in the state of Tamil Nadu, Kodaikanal serves as one of the most sought after tourist destinations in India. Home to the wonder flower named Kurinji that blooms once in 12 years, Kodai is known as the ‘Princess of Hill stations’ for a reason. The view of the picturesque terraced farmlands that are spread across acres of lands spiraling down the hills, is one that will amaze you. And walking by the serene lakes and cascading waterfalls or even hiking through the dense vine forests that look enchanting during the day as the crisp sunshine filters through them, is an experience in itself.

If you are on a trip to reconnect with your spiritual-self, you can trek your way to the Kodaikanal Yoga Centre, located deep in the magical forests, far away from interventions of technology. Wake up to the chirping of the birds, breathe in the fresh air and transport yourself to an ethereal world. And, at the end of your trip, don’t forget to pick up some home-made chocolates and herbal oils, especially the Eucalyptus oil, that are the local specialties.
