About this Place

Green Valley View Point, formerly known as "Suicide Point," offers a breathtaking panorama of deep valleys, lush greenery, and mist-covered mountains in Kodaikanal. Visitors can witness an expansive view of the plains, rolling hills, and the distant Vaigai Dam.

The viewpoint's name was changed to reflect its stunning natural beauty and to move away from the negative connotations of its previous name. The path leading to the viewpoint is lined with charming shops selling homemade chocolates, unique ornaments, and a colorful array of flowers, adding to the local charm.

Playful monkeys are also a common sight in the area, adding a touch of wildlife to the experience. Safety fencing is in place to ensure secure viewing for all visitors, allowing them to safely enjoy the captivating vista from over 5,000 feet above the valley floor.
