You step out into a cool hill wind at 5,200 feet, tea bushes rolling away like clipped waves and cloud fingers threading the valleys. The private vehicle hums along hairpin turns toward Mattupetty Dam; the lake below waits, a mirror that dares you to break its surface with a boat’s wake. Echo Point throws your voice back with a playful nudge, while Kundalam Dam offers wide ledges to stand and read the sweep of green hills.
