Kodai Detox

Kodaikanal is a misty hill station in Tamil Nadu's Western Ghats, and the monsoon is when its quiet, offbeat side comes alive. You skip the crowded lake and the usual viewpoints for a hidden waterfall at Kilavarai, forest camps, green grasslands, and a rare 360 degree altitude viewpoint. Cool misty mornings, slow forest drives, and warm local food, with far fewer tourists around. A small group, everything planned, room to breathe.
