About

Situated in the lap of nature, Zostel Kodaikanal is a backpacker hostel that allows you to mingle with fellow travelers over bonfires & hikes. Set amid rolling hills and green surroundings, with views of The Palani Hills, this modest hostel is only 15-min drive from Kodaikanal Lake, a major highlight of the land and only 1.3kms away from Kurinji Andavar Temple.

Nestled in the Dindigul district in the state of Tamil Nadu, at over 2,133 meters and has all the staples of a charming hill station, with pleasant weather, all through the year.

Mixed-gender dorms and Female dorm rooms feature 2-6-8 Bunk beds, a locker for each bed, Wi-fi, shared washrooms, in-house café and en-suite facilities. There are also cozy private rooms in the quaint, scenic backpacker hostel above Palani range, between the Parappar and Gundar Valleys.
