In two of my previous posts, I have talked about "Coaker's Walk of Kodaikanal" and "Bryant Park in Kodaikanal", now both of these are the favorite tourist's spot in Kodaikanal and thus all the people tend to visits it. Similarly, there are a few more scenery points like:
Upper Lake View - From this point, the Kodaikanal Lake is fully visible which is just 3.2 km from the Coaker's walk and it provides a magnificent view of the while Kodaikanal lake. The star-shaped Kodaikanal lake with surrounding mountains are visible from this point.
Pine Forest - It is again one of the famous tourist spots in Kodaikanal. It is a heritage of the Kodaikanal, it gives a mesmerizing nature, and its preserved very well.
Dolphin Nose from a Distance - Dolphin’s Nose is just a flat rock which is located at the edge of the cliff.
Now, these are not the actually hidden beauty that I wanted to show. The hidden beauty if the actual trek which we have taken towards Dolphin Nose.
Before telling you about it, I just wanted to quote David McCullough Jr. here
Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.
So I trekked to see the world which is so beautiful. The trek and the surrounding view is to view the nose of the Dolphin, just kidding dolphin’s Nose is just a flat rock which is located at the edge of the cliff. The flat rock is at around 6600 ft above the sea level and it resembles the shape of the dolphin's nose. The route seems to be easy to trek and the weather at around 6600 and the tress covered in the route makes it even better.
What I actually wanted to show is a natural beauty which we have in the world, the beauty of the mountains. We actually could not went to actually cliff because we had our baby with us and thus wanted to be a little safe.
The path gets clear & better as we move towards the dolphin's nose but we need to be a little careful because of the slippery rocks at some locations. There were a lot of people and thus you get motivated to walk along with them even if you are tired. In between, you will also find an echo point, but somehow the echo was not happening and no one knows why.
All photos were taken by me with my Canon 200 D and 28 mm lens.
