Chettiyar Park

Chettiar Park is a serene and lesser-known gem tucked away in the peaceful residential area of Kodaikanal, near the Kurinji Andavar Temple. Known for its tranquility and colorful flora, the park offers a refreshing escape from the tourist-heavy spots. Beautifully landscaped with terraced gardens, flowering plants, and well-maintained lawns, Chettiar Park is perfect for quiet walks, picnics, and relaxing in nature. The park is especially popular among nature lovers and photographers for its seasonal blooms and lush greenery. During the summer months especially in May it hosts a flower show, where rare and exotic flowers like the famed Kurinji flower (which blooms once every 12 years) can sometimes be spotted. A small play area for children, shaded benches, and gentle walking paths make it an ideal location for families and couples alike. Local photographers also offer quick portrait services in the park, adding a memorable touch to your visit. Its peaceful atmosphere and scenic beauty make it a great stop before or after visiting nearby attractions like Kurinji Andavar Temple, Silver Cascade Falls, and Bryant Park. Chettiar Park is a must-visit for those seeking quiet charm and floral elegance in Kodaikanal.
