Some protected areas in Kodaikanal, particularly Berijam Lake and parts of the Shola forests, require special permits from the Forest Department. When you book with us, we handle all the necessary permit arrangements as part of our service.

Our team keeps updated with the latest permit requirements and will inform you if any additional documentation is needed.
