Ratings
A short drive above Kodaikanal Lake on the way toward Green Valley View, this roadside viewpoint offers a bird's-eye look at the lake's star shape against the surrounding hills. It's undeveloped and low on facilities — just a few roadside stalls — which keeps it quieter than the more built-up viewpoints in town.
Practical tips
- Since it sits directly on the road to Green Valley View, it's an easy add-on rather than a separate trip
- Visit Oct–Jun for a clear, mist-free view of the lake below
