Interesting things to Visit:

Kodaikanal:Kodaikanal Hill station,is at 2133 metres in the Palani Hills, off-shoot of the Western Ghat Mountain range which runs north-south along the west coast of peninsular India. Kodaikanal is in Tamilnadu state, bodering kerala.Kodaikanal is one of the beautiful hill station in India , it is unique rows and rows of silky pine trees sloping down to clear, cold streams, spectacular views which suddenly disappear in foamy mist, people bundled up in sweaters and overcoats this is certainly not everyones mental image of India. To be sure there are other hill stations, but most of them have been smothered by urban development. We seek peace and quiet in a hill station, not the noise and fumes of factories

The Palani Hills are one of the oldest mountain ranges in India. They are formed from schists, charnockites and pre-Cambrian gneisses.

There are some attractive waterfalls in this park called as Anju Veedu, Thalaiyar, Skamba, Silver Cascade, Pambar, Neptune rapids, Glen, Fairy, Bear Shola and Bamen.
