INFO
Silver Cascade, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Kodaikanal at a wide bend in the long and winding Laws Ghat Road, at altitude 1,800 metres (5,900 ft), is a 55-metre (180 ft) waterfall formed from the outflow of Kodaikanal Lake. The water quality is reportedly poor and not good enough for bathing. This impressive waterfall is a popular stop for first-time visitors. There are a few souvenir and fruit vendors and many monkeys here. There is also a smaller but more serene waterfall below the bridge which crosses the stream here.

Rated #19 of 31 places to hangout

Kurinji Andavar Temple is at a height of 6990 ft. to 7000 ft. The shrup flowers once in 12 years. The lord of Kurinji is Muruga. The flower is a symbol for lovers. Muruga is red complexioned; so is Kurinji.
Hence Kurinji flower and a temple for Muruga exists in Kodaikanal. The temple was built in 1936 by the Australian wife of Ponnambalam (Ceylonese) considered to be the father of the Ceylonese. It is 5 km from the Kodaikanal Lake dug in 1863, and in 1971 was taken over by the Palani Devasthanam.
A small peacock Mandapa in front, a tin shed becoming a Maha Mandapa a pillar with a bell atop, a sanctum without a gopura is that all is in the temple. It can be seen from the Palani Hills. The flower show of Kurinji Andavar takes place annually. Fortunately Kodai Hills has not yet lost the charms of rustic beauty.
In this temple, besides the Kurinji Andavar Vinayagar and Navagrahas are also main deities. Festival idols of Vinayaga, single Murugan, and Muruga with consorts are also here. The temple area is vast and only 1/15th of it is occupied by the temple. If the temple is enlarerd it will make a pretty sight. Poomparai Velappar, Kiranur Vagisar, Azhagia Chokkar, Ayakudi Chozakesar, Oddanchathiram Kuzhandai Velappar, Palayam Vinayagar are all temples worth seeing.

INFO

Thalaiyar falls also known as rat tail falls located in the palani hills .it is 975ft(297m) tall and it is the highest waterfall in tamilnadu,The third highest in India and 267th Highest in the World
On a clear day rat tail falls is visible from the dum dum rock view point on the Batalugundu to kodaikanal Ghat Road 3.6 kms away to the west.it appers across the valley as a long thin white strip of cascading water on a background of black rock cliff face that just out of the foothills.
The very edge at the top of the falls has a low concrete wall on either side concentrating the flow of water to focus the falls into a better rat tail shape. One can walk along the wall and get near the center of the falls. Just below one wall is a large flat rock about 5ft wide. One can get down to the edge of the rock to look directly straight down to see a little river at the bottom continuing placidly through the forest.The river water coming to the falls, though 9 km downstream from Perumal Malai village and apparently clear, may be polluted, and visitors to the area are advised to avoid drinking it.
Rat Tail Falls is considered inaccessible to the general public, as there is no road to it. The top of the falls is a rewarding and challenging hike destination.

Kodaikanal Lake, also known as Kodai Lake is a manmade lake located in the Kodaikanal city in Dindigul district in Tamil Nadu, India.

Boat Pageant and Flower Shows are a regular feature in the summer season which attracts tourists

The lake is star-shaped, centrally located in the town of Kodaikanal and is surrounded by lush green hills of the northwestern

An earthen dam was constructed to create the lake in a marshy where three streams flowed. The lake catchment experiences an average annual rainfall of 1650 mm. The climate is salubrious with summer temperatures of 19.8 °C (max) and 11.3 °C (min) and winter temperatures of 17.3 °C (max) and 8.3 °C (min).The out flow from the Lake forms the waterfall of 180 foot, called the Silver Cascade, 8 km downstream of the lake outlet
