India – Kodaikanal

Located in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Kodaikanal is a beautiful hill town on a crystal clear Berijam Lake.

The meadows and grasslands that surround Kodaikanal make this a great place to escape the heat of the lower regions as the climate is much cooler and you will find domestic and international tourists to India here. Eucalyptus, cypress and acacia trees offer shade and a walk through the forest is a serene experience.

There is also a Solar Observatory at Kodaikanal and even if star gazing is not your thing, the views from the observatory of the terrestrial are quite spectacular.
