Kukkal Caves

 

One of the highest points in Kodaikanal, Kukkal Caves today is famous for its camping site. However, the history of the places dates back to years ago when the Palani Tribe had found their settlement in the region. Given its high altitude, the area is always shrouded in mist and is chilly compared to the rest of the hill station. The trek to the caves is challenging but well worth the physical activity.

Dolphin's Nose View Point 

 
The flat protruding rock formation is famously known as the Dolphin Nose and is one of the most famous viewpoints in Kodaikanal. At a height of 6,600 feet, this point offers a gorgeous vantage viewpoint of the lush green terrain, plunging valleys and the rocky formation of the hills.
