About the Event

Kodaikanal. Sure you have heard this name before!


It's one of the best hill stations you will ever come across in southern India with it's altitude of 2100 meters above Sea level, cold weather & thick forest cover through out the year. It's a very famous honeymoon destination too!


But we will mostly explore offbeat side of this pristine hill station in this backpacking trip. Away from main tourist attractions are mountain villages interspersed with pristine lakes, deep valleys and pine forests. After crisscrossing between mostly untouched places, we will visit Vattakanal village and do Dolphin Nose trek. We will also indulge in Village Walk, cover few tourist attractions, and end the trip with a tinge of Kodaikanal's famous lake and shopping.


It's time you #getmuddie at The Princess Of Hills - Kodaikanal!

The “Offbeat” theme of Muddie Trails
Muddie Trails provides real offbeat experiences for the travelers like trekking, hiking, camping, bonfire, adventure activities, barbecue, visiting, exploring and experiencing the less known but awesome destinations that are not crowded with tourists. We do NOT take travelers to a tourist place unless it is required as a "filler" in the itinerary between two offbeat places. Travelers are requested to refrain from asking our organizers to take them to ABC temple or XYZ church. The itinerary is already decided and posted based on our offbeat theme. The organizer will only change the itinerary/schedule if any place cannot be done because of unpredictable reasons. If you have a wish list of tourist places to tick off in your mind, then probably Muddie Trails is not for you and we request you - please do not register.
