Upper Lake View

For those that wish to see Green Valley View, a short trip en-route to Upper Lake View is perhaps a good idea. The place is magical and is nestled only 3.2 kilometers from yet another crowd pulling hot spot Coakers Walk. Upper Lake View is popular because of Kodai Lake that pulls quite a crowd of locals as well as tourists. 

The sight that the Upper Lake offers cannot be expressed in words for its unique and mind-blowing. You can expect to get lost in its lushness the moment you step your foot here. Most people stop for only a short while here as there are no hotels to stay. Some food stalls are present from where you can buy drinks and small eatables. Also, you can buy craft items that are produced and sold here. Its a paradise for photographers that want to click awesome pictures of the Lake and the lovely backdrops of the green valley. This is one of the must-see places while it comes to sightseeing in Kodaikanal.

The height of the Upper Lake View is such that it allows you to enjoy a full blown view of the Kodai Lake and the areas nearby. If you look closely, you can also spot Hotel Carlton. It is perched right at the background of the lake. Certainly, including this remarkable attraction in your Kodaikanal tour packages is highly recommended.
