About the Route: Madurai to Kodaikanal

The Madurai-Kodaikanal highway somehow resembles a warm and bright adventure on the plains that suddenly becomes a cold one in the hills where trees are dense and mountains wrap the road. With a self-drive car from Onroadz your whole trip will be chill and relax because the road you chose is packed with small towns where you can have some fun and make your stops part of the trip.

The steep inclines of the ghats are accompanied by quite a few curves that keep the fun factor up but the fatigue factor down. In between turns, the valley brightens up and the light changes with the clouds hovering over it. Sometimes the fog comes and everything looks nice and soft and other times the views are farther than one can imagine. Anyway, the journey paves the way for the stay in Kodaikanal.

Loads of travellers use this route only as a short escape—solving the problem of a weekend, a family break, or simply the need for fresh air in a few hours. You driving under your own instructions unravels the secrets of places that aren’t on the tourist lists: minute fruit stalls, tranquil lookouts, forest trails, or even a stone where folks drop just to have a seat for a while.

Top Attractions

Kodai Road Viewpoints (on the way): A number of places along the ascension supplying unending and multilevel vista of the valley.
Silver Cascade Waterfall: The rock of the waterfall that is full of power, energy, and life and is located just before the town and almost all the visitors are attracted to it to stop here and take a photograph.
Kodaikanal Lake: An anchoring and peaceful place—the lake is for boating for some while for others it is perfect for long and slow walks.
Coaker’s Walk: An area known for fog hovering over it and thus the views of the escarpment are changing with every visit.
Pillar Rocks: Three gigantic rock pillars towering up the sky and standing out dramatically against the natural setting.
Bryant Park: Bright, nicely-groomed gardens with flowers that vary with the season.
Bear Shola Falls: A little and quite waterfall that is deeply tucked inside the green woods and is the right place for those who love the peace of nature’s embrace and calm ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌corners.
