Very short walk however - but cheap to visitWritten March 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - MenuloneMumbai, India2,983 contributionsKodaikanal lake is a place that cannot be missed.
Boating: You can take a boat ride on the lake and enjoy the scenic views.
Cycling: You can hire a cycle and cycle around the lake.
Horse riding: You can go for a horse ride around the lake.
Walking: You can simply walk around the lake and enjoy the fresh air and scenery.
The best time to visit the lake is during the evening, when the crowds are smaller and the light is better for photography. There are different shops and stalls around the lake where you can buy food and souvenirs. Be prepared for big crowds, especially during the weekends and holidays. Overall, Kodaikanal Lake is a beautiful place that is worth visiting if you are in Kodaikanal. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery, and there are a variety of activities to keep you entertained.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Though the awareness signboards are there, people should realise the usage of plastics and cans to be carried back and should not feed the monkeys.
Such a calm and serene place cannot be spoiled by human negligence.Written May 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew DSingapore, Singapore398 contributionsThe journey to get there is scenic and we are blessed with a view of the colorful village seated atop a vast spread of paddy field. The village itself is authentic and far from a tourist trap, ideal for watching local lives.Written April 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Divya7Chennai (Madras), India224 contributionsI had the opportunity to visit on a Shashti so got to see Vibhuti alankaram. The temple is open on sunday and throughout the day. But the fields where Kurinji flowers used to bloom (that I have seen over 30 years ago) are sadly gone. You can find shops selling wooden , beaded and metal items nearby but nothing that you will not find in a big city.Written December 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
