Princess of Hill Stations with a star-shaped lake

Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu|Best time: October to June, avoid monsoon July-September

Kodaikanal floats at 2,133 metres in the Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu, centred on a star-shaped man-made lake surrounded by dense shola forests and ancient granite outcrops. Less commercialised than Ooty and more mystical in character, Kodaikanal enchants with its misty forests, the spectacular Coaker's Walk cliffside promenade, and the 400-million-year-old Pillar Rocks. Go Homestays curates luxury homestays in Kodaikanal that tap into this otherworldly atmosphere — colonial-era cottages near the lake with rose gardens and pine-scented air, modern villas on the Vattakanal edge with panoramic valley views stretching to the plains, and forest retreats where wild orchids, rhododendrons, and ancient shola trees form your private garden. Our verified Kodaikanal properties feature homemade plum cakes and eucalyptus honey, fireplaces for chilly evenings, and easy access to Bear Shola Falls, Berijam Lake, and the mesmerising Guna Caves.

Average price: Rs 3,000 - 14,000 per night
