Kodaikanal Lake

Kodaikanal Lake

Kodaikanal Lake is the heart of Tamil Nadu's premier hill station — a star-shaped artificial lake created in 1863 by British collector Sir Vere Henry Levinge, spread over 60 acres at 2,133 m. Pedal boating, rowboating, and horse riding around the 5 km forested lakeside path are the most popular Kodaikanal activities. The surrounding Eucalyptus forest reflects in the morning mist, creating a magical atmosphere. A top Kodaikanal honeymoon and family destination in the Palani Hills.
