Echo Point
എക്കോ പോയിന്റ്
A natural echo valley by the lake. Shout toward the hillside and you will hear a clear echo. It is a popular stop on the Top Station route.
Echo Point lies on the lakeshore about 2 km east of Mattupetty Dam. Hillsides on three sides form a natural echo chamber, and visitors can call out from the lakeside platform toward the opposite bank and hear a clear echo. Bamboo rafts, pedal boats, and snack and spice stalls line the shore, making it a good place to photograph the tea hills reflected in the water.
Entry is about a few dozen rupees, and a visit of 30–45 minutes is enough. Weekends in peak season are crowded and noisy, so come early in the morning for a quieter visit. After rain the shore is slippery, so watch your footing.
