I am always looking at offbeat destinations or what we call it as experiential travel. Yes! enough of doing all that touristy stuff be it Hill station, Beach or multi-storey skyline modern cities with new age attractions. I am always looking at challenging myself to some experiences or adventure.
About Kookal- Trekking in Kodaikanal
One of such places is Kookal near Kodaikanal in South India. Now, what is so special about it one may ask? My reply to it will be everything! Kookal is a small village in Kodaikanal taluk of Dindigul District in Tamil Nadu. People visit Kodaikanal for its regular attractions like the famous Kodai Lake, falls, temples, viewpoints etc. And trust me they all are so so beautiful and scenic and must be visited again and again. But I was on a different trip altogether. It was a trek, camping and bonfire trip for me to Kookal village which is about 40 km from Kodaikanal and is at an elevation of approximately 6200 ft. Famous for its high biodiversity of the area Kookal also has a hilly terrain, step farming landscapes, dense forest, lake, flora & fauna, breathtaking views etc. Kookal is certainly a nature lover’s and adventure enthusiast’s paradise.
