How to Get to Kodaikanal
By air
Madurai Airport is the nearest commonly used airport; Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli are alternatives with longer road transfers.
By train
Kodai Road on the plains is the best-known rail gateway, while Dindigul and Madurai offer broader connections; all require a ghat-road journey onward.
By bus and road
Government and private buses connect Kodaikanal with Madurai, Dindigul, Palani and regional cities. Confirm night-arrival transport to outer properties.
Always use the terminal and boarding point printed on the latest ticket; similarly named stations can be far apart.
