Kodaikanal is a hill station located in the Palani hill range of Tamil Nadu. It boasts of, stunning views and pleasant climate all through the year.
Amongst the many tourist attractions at Kodaikanal, a must see spot is the Dolphin's Nose. It is perched at an altitude of 6,600 Ft, 8 km away from the bustling Kodaikanal town in Vattakanal village. The rock formation at the edge of this terrain resembles that of dolphin's nose, which is how this view point got its name.
Dolphin's Nose is a spot undisturbed, as it is quite secluded from the rest of the tourist places. To reach the view spot, one has to take a moderate level, 2 km hike downhill from Pambar Bridge. The scenic trail passes through tall pine and eucalyptus trees. The rocky terrain is uneven and at times slippery, making the trek all the more adventurous.
On reaching the viewpoint, the panoramic view is of sheer magnificence of nature. The deep valleys, misty skies, sparkling lakes, gushing falls, and all the lush greenery from the edge of this hill, is something to experience; the things that make Kodai so special.
Gazing at the vast expanse of the pristine scenery, makes one feel connected to everything that the earth beholds.
A trip to Dolphin's Nose makes one realise the much needed break, to step away from the boring routine and to rejuvenate by just soaking, in the beauty that nature has gifted around us.
