Kodaikanal, located in Tamil Nadu’s Palani Hills of the Western Ghats, is often called the “Princess of Hill Stations”. Sitting at an altitude of  2,133 meters, it’s known for its misty mountains, lush forests, star-shaped lake, and romantic climate. Unlike Ooty, Kodaikanal feels more serene and laid-back, making it a favorite for honeymooners, trekkers, and nature lovers.
