For reaching this place you need special permission from the forest department. The way to this lake is via forest and the scenic beauty is excellent. It is worth the time to travel the extra distance.

Berijam Lake is the main attraction of Kodaikanal. The lake is long and clean enough even without a maintanence. Lake is surrounded by dense forest. An idle place to hang out with friends.

This was amazing, its located amidst of forest and you can feel pure air and cool breeze here. You need to plan atleast a day in advance for the forest tour and this one will be during the end of tour.

The Berijam Lake View is the best from high-up in the hills. The entry to this lake is disallowed and hence one can only just "see" the lake. Nonetheless it's a beautiful lake, calm and serene.

Peaceful atmosphere. A decent restaurant should be established to quench the apetite after a long travel from Kodaikanal
