TN E-Pass & Green Tax
Tamil Nadu mandates an automated free E-Pass for vehicles entering Kodaikanal during peak tourist periods. Our depot team will assist you in generating your instant pass in 2 minutes.
2 Helmets Mandatory
Both rider and pillion must wear ISI helmets. Police checkpoints at Batlagundu Toll and Silver Cascade inspect strictly. We provide 2 sanitized helmets free with every rental.
Ghat Driving Discipline
Never coast downhill in neutral clutch — always stay in 2nd/3rd gear for engine braking. Always honk gently before blind hairpin turns and give right of way to uphill vehicles.
Warm Layers & Raincoats
Temperatures drop sharply after the 15th hairpin curve (often dipping below 14°C). Pack windcheaters, thermal gloves, and light raincoats as sudden mist showers are common.
