A road trip to Kodaikanal is also an excellent idea as it can be quite scenic and beautiful. However, do note that the ghat sections here are extensive and inexperienced drivers might find it a little difficult to drive. There are two routes to reach Kodaikanal – Palani and Vathalagundu.

Before taking either of these routes, do some research to see if these routes are navigable as sometimes construction and road widening work is usually done here. However, the experience of driving down to Kodaikanal in your own car can be a refreshing experience indeed.

It's not at all dangerous, if you have driven in any other hill stations it would be easier, but not a pre-requirement. However, exercise caution and use horn during blind turns.
