This old man has no need for a big job, no corporate life, no traffic, and no deadlines. Life is about relaxing for him. This photo, taken over eight years ago in the serene village of Kookal in Kodaikanal, captures a moment of pure tranquility.
In 2024, I revisited this hidden gem with my wife, mom, and driver. Although we couldn’t spot the old man, we found the place still brimming with its unique charm. Once a well-kept secret, Kookal has now been exposed to the world through Instagram and other social media platforms. Despite this, it remains relatively uncrowded, preserving its small-village allure.
Kookal is a gateway to heaven. As we ventured deeper, we discovered many simple nature resorts, resembling huts. These aren’t luxurious five-star accommodations, but their beauty surpasses even the most opulent seven-star hotels. Although we couldn’t stay overnight, I was thrilled to let my family explore and feel the essence of Kodaikanal’s beauty.
