Mattupetty Dam & Echo point

I have only this much to say to you - if you want to include Mattupetty Dam in your sightseeing, make sure you find out what the timings for boating are. Unfortunately for us, our driver informed us that boating would be closed for the day by the time we make it there when we were already on our way. So we just strolled along the banks of the dam, took a cursory look at the shops lining both sides of the street and turned back.




An unexpected bonus on our way to the dam was the sighting of a trio of "wild" elephants near the roadside. :-)

Nothing much to see at the Echo Point as well except for a lot of tourists and their photo-sessions. There is something to be said about the lack of civic manners of Indians but I will refrain from saying much here. We didn't spend even 10 minutes here.

If shouting some inane phrase at the top of your voice and hearing its echo is not something that excites you, then give this place a miss.

We made a pit-stop at Saravana Bhavan for tea and headed back to Ambady. I was already looking forward to relaxing in the back garden.
