In Pine ForestKodai - The princess of Hill sations
Kodaikkanal is termed as "The Princess of Hill Stations" with its evergreen flora, and fascinating natural beauties. Nature had been biased in endowing Kodai with wealth of riches. The thickly wooded slopes, deep breathtaking valleys, waterfalls, streams, huge lake, etc makes the place a paradise for those who love, tranquil, pleasant, & serene ambience. Kodai's chief picnic spts include the star shaped lake, silver cascade (falls), the wide spread Bryant park & the adjacent coakers walk, world's oldest solar observatory, pillar rock. A special mention must be made of a phenomenon called `Brachem Spectre' in the coakers walk-a very lucky person can see his shadow on the clouds with a rainbow halo, when sun is behind him with cloud & mist in front! The green valley or the commonly known suicide point is situated at about 5 kms from the lake on the way to pillar rock. Here one gets the mystic feeling at the sight of a very deep (approx. 2000 ft) below their feets!, not to mention of the wide view of Vaigai dam on a clear day.
