Kodai Lake

Where do you plan to go during this summer vacation? Of course The answer is "somewhere cool"! In the scorching summer heat, Kodaikanal turns out to be one of the most sought out tourist location in South India.

In Kodai the most beautiful attraction is invariably the Kodai lake itself.

Located at an altitude of 2285m, the lake appears star shaped when viewed from a height. The Palani hills are also seen in view.

The walk way around the lake is pretty and well maintained for driving or trekking. There are also facilities for bicycling and horse riding.

The lake is sprawled over some 60 acres with a boat club.

It is a surprising fact that the lake is man made, the marshy area was developed into the gorgeous lake by Sir Vere Hentry Levinge, the then Collector of Madurai in 1863.

The garden around is well maintained and you could spend hours trekking around the lake simply admiring the beauty.

So what is your favourite Summer retreat?

Again Thanks for visiting....
