Kundala Lake
കുണ്ടള തടാകം
A high-altitude lake enclosed by a small arch dam, where you can row a Kashmiri-style shikara. Tea gardens and eucalyptus forests surround the lake.
Kundala Lake lies about 20 km east of town at an altitude of roughly 1,700 m. It was formed by a small arch dam. You can take a pedal boat or a Kashmiri-style shikara houseboat-style boat. The lakeside also offers horse riding and the Kundala Golf Course.
Historically, the British built the Kundala Valley Railway here, but it was never rebuilt after floods destroyed it in 1924. The lake is a good stop between Echo Point and Top Station, and a visit of about 1 hour is enough.
