Dolphin’s Nose, Kodaikanal A Cliffside Marvel in the Hills. Dolphin’s Nose in Kodaikanal is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Western Ghats, known for its dramatic rock formation that juts out like the nose of a dolphin. Situated about 8 kilometers from the main town, this natural ledge sits at an altitude of approximately 6,600 feet, offering breathtaking views of the deep Pambar Valley, rolling hills, and mist-covered cliffs. The viewpoint is reached via a moderately easy trek through pine forests and terraced villages, making the journey as rewarding as the destination. Along the way, small stalls sell tea, snacks, and local handicrafts, adding charm to the trail. Once at the top, visitors are greeted by panoramic vistas of the rugged mountains and greenery that stretch endlessly into the horizon. The cool air and absolute silence broken only by the sounds of nature make it a perfect spot for meditation, photography, and peaceful reflection. Early mornings offer the best views, especially when the sun rises over the valleys. The natural beauty and serenity of Dolphin’s Nose make it a favorite for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike, providing an unforgettable experience in the heart of Kodaikanal’s wild landscape.
