Wake up to cool mountain air, enjoy breakfast, and check out from your hotel. Set off on a scenic 6-hour drive toward Kodaikanal, the "Princess of Hill Stations." The route winds past terraced farmlands, forest stretches, and changing valley contours of the Palani Hills. Arrive in Kodaikanal by afternoon and check into your hotel. After unwinding, spend a relaxing evening strolling around the star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake (Kodai Lake) or browsing the local bazaars for handmade chocolates, eucalyptus oils, and spices.

Next, visit Green Valley View (Suicide Point) and marvel at the massive vertical rock pillars at Pillar Rocks. Walk through the shady, fragrant pathways of the Pine Forest, popular in Indian cinema, and admire the landscaped lawns and glasshouses of Bryant Park.
