Coaker's Walk is a paved pedestrian path of about one kilometre along the edge of a cliff, built in 1872 by Lieutenant Coaker. On clear days you can see the plains of Madurai and the Vaigai Dam, and a telescope house near the entrance lets you look further.
It is a pleasant evening walk with small stalls selling hot snacks and fruit.
See it as part of a planned itinerary with transport, stay and a trip coordinator.
