Kodaikanal
3–4 days

Founded in 1845 by American missionaries seeking relief from the heat of the plains, Kodaikanal is nicknamed the "Princess of Hill Stations."
Its centrepiece, Kodaikanal Lake, is a man-made star-shaped lake built in 1863 — still the town's social heart today.
It's also the one destination Yatro has built out in full depth, with a 3-level trail, 9 stops and mode-aware directions in the app.
