Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Pickup and Kodaikanal Valley Tour
We pick you up from Palani or Kodai Road, depending on where you arrive, and take the ghat road up to Kodaikanal. After you check in, we begin the valley tour with the classic viewpoints of the hill station:
- Green Valley View (Suicide Point)
- Pillar Rocks
- Pine Forest
- Moir Point and Guna Cave area
- Coaker’s Walk, Bryant Park and Kodaikanal Lake in the evening
Day 2: Kodaikanal Village Tour
Today is slower and greener. The village tour heads out of town to terraced farmland and quiet lakes:
- Poombarai village and its terraced fields
- Mannavanur Lake, a farming village on the Kodaikanal–Palani road, about 28 km from town
- Kookal village and viewpoints, as the weather allows
Kids enjoy the open grassland and the village stops.
Day 3: Trekking Trip
A guided trekking day in the hills around Kodaikanal, such as the Vattakanal and Dolphin’s Nose area. The trek is chosen to suit your family’s pace and the day’s weather, with your guide and driver nearby. Carry water, snacks and comfortable shoes.
Day 4: Kodaikanal to Munnar
After breakfast we drive to Munnar. The road trip is about 170 km and takes roughly 4–5 hours with stops. The direct British-era “Escape Road” via Top Station is no longer open to normal traffic, so the cab goes around via Palani or the Theni–Bodi route. After you settle in, we visit the first sightseeing spots of Munnar, such as tea estates and viewpoints.
Day 5: Munnar Sightseeing and Drop
We cover Munnar’s main tourist places, which can include Eravikulam National Park (check the season), Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point and Top Station, the highest point on the Munnar–Kodaikanal road at about 1,700 m. After sightseeing we drop you at Munnar bus station. If you need to reach Kochi airport instead, tell us at booking and we will quote the extra charge.
How Far Is Kodaikanal from Munnar by Road?
Kodaikanal to Munnar is about 170 km by road and takes around 4–5 hours with stops. Online sources quote anything between 140 km and 175 km, because the route can go via Palani or via Theni–Bodi. We plan for the longer, safer estimate so you are not rushed.
Room Location in Kodaikanal: The 2 km Rule
To keep daily pickups simple, book a room near Kodaikanal Lake or within 2 km of the lake. If your stay is further than 2 km, local charges apply based on the extra distance. Share your hotel name when you book and we will confirm any charge in advance.
