Tamil Nadu Introduces Online Ticketing to Ease Kodaikanal Tourist Traffic
The Tamil Nadu Forest Department has launched an online ticketing system for popular tourist spots in Kodaikanal to reduce traffic congestion during the Dussehra holidays. Visitors can pay entry fees in advance via the official website and present digital or printed receipts at sites like Pillar Rocks and Guna Caves. Previous manual and QR code-based systems caused delays due to connectivity issues and separate fee collections. Local authorities collaborated to implement this centralized online system to ensure smoother tourist access.
