Package DetailsCheck out the Package Details...!

The One Day Madurai to Kodaikanal Tour Package is a same-day bus outing from Madurai to the cool hill town of Kodaikanal. It is a good choice for families and college groups who want a break from the plains heat, some lake time and misty viewpoints, and a return to Madurai by night.

Route and travel

The non-A/C bus picks you up in Madurai around 7 AM. Kodaikanal is about 120 km away, and the drive takes 3 to 4 hours, the last part on a ghat road with more than twenty hairpin bends. Sightseeing in the hills is planned to finish by about 3 PM, and the bus drops everyone back in Madurai around 7:20 PM.

Places covered

  • Silver Cascade Falls beside the ghat road.
  • Coaker's Walk, a paved path along the hill edge with a telescope house.
  • Pillar Rocks, three tall granite columns rising from the valley.
  • Green Valley View, a deep valley viewpoint.
  • The golf ground and the upper lake viewpoint.
  • Kodaikanal Lake, with time for a boat ride.
  • A town park and a museum stop, as listed by the operator.

Tips for this trip

  • If you get car sick on hill roads, eat a light breakfast and sit near the front of the bus.
  • Carry a sweater or light jacket; Kodaikanal is much cooler than Madurai, especially from November to February.
  • Mist can hide the valley views after noon, so enjoy the viewpoints early.
  • Boating and some viewpoints have their own small tickets; keep change ready.
  • Wear shoes with grip, as paths near the falls and viewpoints can be wet.

Frequently asked questions

The page says 1 night. Do we stay in Kodaikanal?

The day plan returns to Madurai the same evening, so no night stay is shown. Please confirm with us if you need a hotel.

Is one day enough for Kodaikanal?

It covers the main town sights. Places further out, like Berijam Lake or Mannavanur, need a longer trip.

Is this trip good for children?

Yes. The lake, boating and cool weather are popular with kids, though the ghat road can upset small stomachs.
