Echo Point is a scenic spot located at the confluence of three mountain streams, famous for its natural acoustic echo phenomenon where your voice echoes back clearly through the valley. Nearby, Kundala Lake is a beautiful, peaceful reservoir surrounded by cherry blossom trees and pine forests. Kundala is famous for Kashmiri Shikara boat rides and pedal boat rides. Flanked by green tea hills, the spot is perfect for a relaxing afternoon walk, photography, and shopping for local spices.

FAQs
Why does it echo here?
The unique topography of the surrounding hills, water body, and dense forest canopy reflects sound waves, causing them to bounce back to the source.
Can we see Neela Kurinji flowers here?
Yes, the hillsides around Kundala Lake are known to be covered in purple blooms when the Neelakurinji season occurs every 12 years.
