Coaker's Walk is a 1 km paved path cut into the edge of the escarpment, offering views down to the plains 2,000 metres below when the clouds cooperate. The mist rolls in unpredictably — come early morning for the best chance of clear air, and be prepared to see nothing at all if the weather has turned. When it is clear, the drop is spectacular.
There is a small telescope at a viewing platform midway along the path, with an attendant who will point it at distant landmarks for a rupee or two. At the southern end, a small café serves tea and snacks. The walk is most pleasant at dawn, before the day-trippers arrive from Madurai.
