Kodaikanal, popularly known as Kodai, is situated among the Palani Hills at 2133m from sea level. Kodaikanal is the only hill station setup by Americans in India. Later the British joined them. The star attraction of Kodaikanal is the star shaped Kodai Lake (60 acres) that is beautifully landscaped. The Kodai Lake was laid out in 1863 by Sir Vere Hendry Levinge who was then the Collector of Madurai. The lake was originally stocked with fish from the local streams. In 1890, the first Boat Club was formed and today there are three different Boat Clubs with a variety of boats available on hire. Almost all distances in Kodaikanal are calculated with the lake as the pivotal point of reference.
