Munnar Tourism

In the Western Ghats mountain range, Munnar is a town. It's surrounded by rolling hills dotted with tea plantations created in the late 19th century, a hill station and a former retreat for the British Raj elite. The Lakkam Waterfalls, hiking trails and 2,695m-tall Anamudi Peak are home to Eravikulam National Park, a sanctuary for the endangered mountain goat Nilgiri tahr.

Echo Point is located at an altitude of 600 ft. and about 15 kilometres from Munnar, right in the lap of a picturesque lake and misty hills covered with lush green trees. This location is well known, as the name implies, for its enthralling depiction of the echoing phenomenon. When you yell, it is fun to hear your voice reverberate around the attraction again and again.

The distinctive beauty of Echo Point marks the confluence of Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala, three mountain ranges. Situated on the banks of a lake, this place's peace and serenity are enchanting. You can enjoy a quiet stroll around the gentle slopes of the hills here, or go boating in the lake's serene waters. For birdwatchers, Echo Point is a paradise, as many native birds can be seen here.

This picturesque location perched on top of the low rolling slopes and ondulating plains of Nilgiris in Munnar is Photo Spot. This point serves as an excellent photography opportunity in the background of the stretches of tea gardens typical of this area of the world, as is evident from the name itself.
