Thiruvananthapuram To Kodaikanal

Coldy Kanal

Post by Florien | Mumbai | Feb 12, 2007

We went from Mumbai, via overpriced taxi from Madurai. Coimbatore is a better option if coming by air from N or W India. Bargain hard for off season taxi discounts. Choose a hotel around the lake. Although more expensive, they are quieter and much better located for exploring, hiking etc. Go to Kodai only in the off season.

It is easily accessible by road from Kodai Road, Dindigul and Madurai railway stations in increasing order of distance. Kodai Road is the nearest railway station and so if you are traveling by train make sure that it stops there. The hotels and resorts usually offer pick ups from these stations. On your return you could book a cab that is on its way back after dropping tourists in Kodai and it would work out cheaper. If you own a car and would not mind driving along the hairpin bends and hilly terrain and would be comfortable doing so that’s the best option especially considering the exorbitant rates of cabs and taxis. But if your car is a new one and you would not want a single scratch on it then better drop that whole idea.
