Round a bend on the rim road the valley walls face each other at just the right angle, and a good shout comes back a beat later. The simplest pleasure on the Saputara circuit. Every passing family stops, every child tests it at full volume, and the view, a green bowl of valley dropping toward the border hills, quietly earns the halt on its own.
There is nothing to do here in the itinerary sense, which is the charm: pull over, shout, take the photograph, move on to Table Point or Sunrise Point along the same stretch. Vendors with corn and cucumber appear in season. Monsoon mist can eat the echo along with the view; clear winter mornings carry it best.
Highlights
- ◆Reliable echo off the facing valley walls
- ◆Green valley bowl views
- ◆Effortless roadside stop on the rim circuit
Traveller tips
- →String it with Table Point and Sunrise Point: all three sit on one stretch
- →Test the echo one person at a time; a crowd shouting together returns mud
Safety
- ⚠Park fully off the road: the bend has fast-moving traffic
- ⚠Keep children back from the unfenced edge
