Once the first part of my Indian journey in Kerala was coming to its end after 4 weeks spent on the beach in Alleppey, I’ve started to look for another location to enjoy in India. After some time searching in internet I’ve came up with idea to visit village in mountains called Kodaikanal.  It happened to be not the easiest place to reach so first I had to take the train to Madurai and then catch the bus to Kodaikanal. Journey duration all together was 18 hours from Alleppey and finally I’ve reached the Kodaikanal on 20th of May. You will definitely enjoy the second part of your journey from Madurai to Kodaikanal as the bus will take you through  the breath-taking-away sceneries of mountains, plantations and waterfalls. On your way to  Kodaikanal the bus will make several stops during which you can enjoy coconut milk or tea in tiny cups which is called “chai” and made out of Indian tea, spices and milk, yammy one!  4 hours in local bus with local families with cute kids and finally, I’ve reached Kodaikanal where is was met my  host’s manager who dropped me at the beautiful host’s house in 5 minutes drive from the Kodaikanal main bus station. I was very warm welcomed by 2 girls who happened to be volunteers in Organic Brooklyn. We’ve spent good time with them in the cafe which happened to serve the best cappuccino and pies in Kodaikanal.

Next day on 21st of May we were supposed to go to our host’s farm which is located in mountains in 2 hours drive from Kodaikanal but unfortunately our bus didn’t showed up and our departure was slipped to tomorrow.

On 22nd of May we finally reached our destination  - beautiful farm in the middle of no-where in mountains.  I would definitely recommend to stay at this place for people who would like to escape from the noisy cities and enjoy calmness and beauty of nature...Shortly after our arrival we’ve met 2 other workawayers – Lucy from UK and Jesse from Australia with whom we had great time together sharing our travelling experience about India and Kodaikanal in particularly. It was a bit sad to say goodbye to them as in 2 days they had bus back to Kodaikanal but I’m sure that the planet is very small and we will have a chance to see each other later, maybe not in Kodaikanal but in another amazing place!

Our experience on the farm was full of openings about the eco-farming process – from composting till harvesting of the plant which will end up they way on the tables of local families in Kodaikanal.

For those who doesn’t like to sit quite (like me) there are a lot of possibilities for activities like hiking to nearest village. As a treat for yourself for a long walk you can have a chai in the shop next to bus stop, always crowded by local people who looked a bit amazed by foreigners;)

After a week on farm we were back to Kodaikanal and spent several days in the host’s house with his family, who are great people and welcoming hosts.  Don’t miss opportunity to visit Prana SPA to reward yourself after  the tough week on the farm. The SPA is next to the house so you will not have to walk a lot after very relaxing massage…

As wise people are saying “its better to see one time rather than to hear about it 100 times” that’s why I do recommend you to visit Kodaikanal and spend at least a week on the farm and who knows…maybe you will fall in love with this place so much to decide to stay here to become Kodaikanal inhabitant;)

Maria from St. Petersburg Russia, is a quality and audit professiona who has worked in the automobile industry in Russia for notable companies like Ford and Nissan
