Kodanad View Point
கொடநாடு காட்சி முனை
A viewing tower on a cliff east of Kotagiri, overlooking the Moyar River valley and Rangaswamy Peak, with picturesque tea gardens along the way.
The viewpoint is about 16 km from Kotagiri. The road runs through large tea gardens and ends at a viewing tower with a platform. From here you can see the Moyar River below, the Eastern Ghats, the Tamil Nadu plains, and Rangaswamy Peak, which resembles a pointed spire. Far fewer visitors come here than to the attractions in Ooty. Entry is free. It suits self-drive or hired-car trips and can be combined with Catherine Falls from Kotagiri.
