During my short stay at this serene hill station, I decided to do a little research on it's history and how it became to be a popular vacation spot.
The story goes that a group of British officers grew tired of the sweltering heat and decided to settle down and live on those cool Kodai hills,, and the place became so popular that more people from other countries decided to settle down there too, like an American missionary and an Australian botanist who was the one who brought eucalyptus trees to the region which caused a catastrophic change to the local environment.
And even today it is still a popular destination among political figures considering how many political vehicles that I have spotted driving in and around the mountain roads of that town.
