Echo Point lies in the vicinity of Louisa Point, which can be seen from here. As the name suggests, you hear your screams and yells echo at this peak. High-pitched kids are a common sight here. We even saw adults going crazy to hear their voice back. We got to know about it when a group of almost 20 screaming people captured my attention. Funny, isn’t it?

The vantage point offers the best view of the Western Ghats and is very crowded during daytime. So, it's advisable to visit here early in the morning. One of the best experiences we had here was crossing the valley by zip-lining. Mostly, zip-lining is offered by some local tour operators during the peak tourist season. There are a few stalls here that offer a variety of local food like vada pav and kandha poha, along with bottled water and soda. So, it's good to relax here for a while and admire nature in its full glory.
