Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal, located in the Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu, is a well-known hill station situated on a plateau above the southern escarpment of the Palani Hills at an elevation of around 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). Established in 1845 by American missionaries and British officials, it was developed as a refuge from the hot plains and tropical diseases.
The town is centered around a man-made lake that measures about 5 kilometers in circumference and surrounded by lush meadows, grasslands, and dense shola forests. Kodaikanal is famous for its cool climate, scenic waterfalls, botanical gardens, and rich biodiversity.
Historically, it was inhabited by the indigenous Palaiyar tribe, with mentions of the area found in ancient Tamil literature. Today, tourism forms the backbone of its economy, attracting visitors with its natural beauty and tranquil environment. It also faces environmental challenges, including pollution concerns, but remains one of the most popular hill stations in southern India.
