The last picture, Mist in the pine forest is surreal.

Yes, it is the entrance to Guna caves. I found the mist surreal and magical too.

Final set of miscellaneous pics from my Kodai trip, which showcase Kodai town, the hotel we stayed at which was adequate, some scenery and night images near the lake. Hope you liked looking at the pics in this photoblog as much as i enjoyed myself at this pleasant spot.

The pics are beutiful. Kodi is a lovely place, so calm and serene. Is that the Tibetian market, very similar to the one in coorg??

Hi, Nick, Amazing photographs, I had never seen Kodai before. i have added it to my list of places to visit after seeing your photographs.
thanks,

Beautiful informative pics..I have been to Kodi years back,now it seems to have changed to Pizza and Baskin Robbins culture.
But the lake looks same and serene as it was.

Hey Nick, great pictures and very good narration. I haven't yet visited Kodai and this is quite inspiring and am sure that I shall do it this year.

I was told by our cabdriver that all these bungalows were privately owned by individuals or entities and were not for rent. One of the bungalows featured is owned by the Church of South India , which has a retreat there, and this is based on info painted on the board at the entrance i saw while driving past. So, if you know someone at this organization, i'm sure you can get to stay there. All of them are exquisitely maintained, regardless of ownership.
