Book Cottages in Kodaikanal

Hidden in a fluffy blanket of cottony clouds at an altitude of 2133 meters above sea level, Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu is the ‘princess of hill stations’ and the younger sister to the more popular and frequented Ooty. Discovered in the year 1821 to make for a summer getaway from Mysore for the British, the town is probably the only hill station in the country to be established by American missionaries in 1845. Today, it’s a favourite with honeymooners and travellers who intend to stay away from the crowded and commercialised Ooty, which lies about a seven-hour scenic drive away from the town.
