Echo Point sits beside a lake at around 600 feet, ringed by hills that create a natural echo when you call out across the water. It's one of the most-visited stops on the Munnar sightseeing route specifically for this effect, so it tends to get crowded, especially in the afternoon.
The unique beauty of the Echo Point marks the confluence of three mountain ranges, Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala. Situated on the banks of a lake, the calm and serenity of this place are enchanting. You can indulge in a peaceful walk around the gentle slopes of the hills here, or go boating in the serene waters of the lake. Echo point is a paradise for birdwatchers, as many native birds can be spotted here.
You can also see a few shops on the periphery of the attraction selling local items of the hill station. You will find the rare Neelakurinji flowers or Strobilanthes that bloom and enhance its beauty. On your visit to Munnar, Echo Point should be on your to-do list. Owing to its favourable climate and terrain, the Echo point is quite famous for its trek routes.
