Kodaikanal
Bryant Park, named after H.D. Bryant who landscaped it in 1908, is a beautifully maintained botanical garden on the eastern shore of Kodaikanal Lake and one of the most pleasant places to spend a relaxed morning in the hill station. The park's collection of roses, dahlias, begonias, and rare tree species is maintained to an exceptionally high standard, and the Annual Flower Show held here in May during the peak summer season is one of the most popular horticultural events in Tamil Nadu.
The park's rose section and the section with rare high-altitude flowering cacti near the back wall are the most beautiful — most visitors miss the rear sections by turning around too soon.
