About the Rose Garden

For nature lovers, flower enthusiasts, and photography buffs alike, gardens have always been an irresistible draw. Whether you're looking to unwind with loved ones or simply bask in the beauty of your surroundings, there's no better place to be than amidst the lush greenery of a serene garden.

Visit the 12-acre Kodaikanal Rose Garden, which is breathtaking and was made public in 2018 by the Tamil Nadu government. With a promised 100,000 plants, this garden is a rose lover's paradise that you don't want to miss!

If you are a nature lover, then you should not miss this tranquil haven! You can roam around the garden in battery cars which costs Rs. 30 per person for 15-30 minutes. These cars are advisable for older people and people who are unable to walk. There are additional entertainments in the garden to be explored like horse rides. The 10-minutes horse ride covers 100 to 300 meters on average, and it is worthwhile for everyone. Rose Garden Kodaikanal contains an outdoor playground with a slider, seesaw, swings, and other items for kids, just like all other gardens. The entry fee is Rs.20 for adults and Rs.10 for children. Rs.50 is to be paid for if you carry a camera. The garden is open from 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. and the best time to visit the place is in April.
