With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Kodaikanal, 40 miles away, has to offer. Kodaikanal Lake ought to be high up on your list here. Kumbakkarai Falls and Bryant Park are awesome attractions too. Situated 45 miles away, Kochi is another popular choice. If you stop by, don’t miss Lulu Mall, Marine Drive and Fort Kochi Beach.
