Coaker's Walk
கோக்கர்ஸ் வாக்
A viewing path of about 1 km built along a steep cliff. On clear days, you can look down over the valley and the distant plains, and it is especially spectacular when the clouds roll in.
Coaker's Walk was built in 1872 by the British engineer Coaker. It runs about 1 km along the southern edge of the cliffs, with a deep valley on one side. On clear days, you can see far across the Periyakulam plain and the Vaigai valley, and sometimes the 'Brocken spectre' halo appears. There are telescope viewpoints midway along the path. Admission is about 20 rupees, and it is open roughly from 7:00 to 19:00. It is about a 10-minute walk from the lake area, and the light is best at sunrise and in the evening.
Opening hours
