Most of the tourist entertainment in the town is centred around the starfish-shaped lake, which forms Kodai’s nucleus. Honeymooners take the customary boat-ride, kids scream for horse-rides around the lake and parents negotiate with taxi drivers for a day-trip of Kodai’s 16-Sights-Tour. The town is a maze of churches, hotels, restaurants, touts and homemade signs advertising homemade chocolates. Like electrons in a tightly packed atom, you keep colliding against the same people so often that you even do away with the customary smile. But look beyond the facade and you’ll find another dimension to Kodai.
