Delicious Culinary Experience

“During my stay at Great Trails Kodaikanal, I enjoyed a fantastic dining experience at the Whistler Cafe. The breakfast spread featured an impressive variety of South Indian dishes, which were all quite tasty. The chef was accommodating, especially when it came to preparing special dishes for my children. It's rare to find such keen attention to guests' preferences.” view full review

It was exhilarating, and I felt assured by the knowledgeable staff guiding us. The outdoor play area for kids also added to the fun!” view full review

Comfortable Timber Chalets

“The Timber Chalet we stayed in was spacious and well-appointed with wooden finishes that added to the cozy charm. My family booked two chalets, and even with an extra bed, we had ample space. The large glass windows provided stunning views of the valley. It's a perfect mix of comfort and scenery!” view full review

This resort is a fantastic getaway surrounded by the natural beauty of the hills. The rooms are impeccably clean and spacious, and I really enjoyed the attention from the staff. The evening bonfire and games added a special touch to our stay. On the downside, the location is slightly away from the main attractions, which may not be ideal for everyone. Overall, great value for money and a peaceful retreat where I definitely plan to return.
