Grab a few drinks and some snacks, take a blanket, and arrive about half an hour before sunset to score a spot overlooking Boar's Head and Narrow Neck Plateau. It's really magical to see the cliffs lit up in the fiery red of the sunset. Perfect way to say farewell to the sun.

This trek is memorable to me as I have done the whole plan on my own with help from TripAdvisor, different social media and maps.me ( this app works without internet with GPS ON). I started my journey on a sunny day from Mt. Victoria at 723 hrs and reached Katoomba at 925 hrs by train. I took a bus just outside the Katoomba station and reached Scenic World at 945 hrs, from here I set my trekking for Blue Mountain (Dardanelles Pass walking track). The altitude of the place is 3000 feet, indicated in my watch. I opened the map and started following Prince Henry Cliff Walk. On the way to eco-point, touched Katoomba cascades to see the beautiful Katoomba falls, Cliff viewpoint for siting blue mountain and valley waves, sky East station to see the giant stairway, Lady Darley’s lookout to see the amazing three sisters before reaching the echo point. The three sisters view from eco-point is gorgeous. Decided to take three sisters walking track to explore the three sisters. Descending through the Giant Stairway, way down over 900 stairs, enter a dense canopy of magnificent coachwood. From this point, the left side is the base point of the scenic world and the right side goes to Leura forest through Dardanelles Pass walking track . The altitude of this place is 2200 feet. The one thing is in my mind that again I need to climb up almost a thousand feet. It started approaching along the Dardanelles path through this beautiful Leura forest. I was searching some company, lucky to get some people from Korea, got confidence to go ahead through this path. Because of maps.me, I knew that I will not lost inside the forest. The path is slowly going up as usual, sometimes it is flat also. But after some point of time, the path is going up and up through this awesome Laura forest. After one hour 15 minutes walk, would reach the junction of Prince Henry cliff walk. As I have decided not to go back to the echo point, so I took an exit from there and reached the main road. I took the main road and reached Katoomba rail station.

Echo Point NEEDS to be on your list when you go to The Blue Mountains. The lookout that's been created is incredible. The views are out of this world, the view of The Three Sisters is uninterrupted and breathtaking, there are walking tracks, multiple viewing platforms, what more could you want?! Being English, I loved that there is a lookout named after Queen Elizabeth! Made me feel closer to home. Get there before 9am and you can park for free. There's toilets on site and a restaurant nearby - this wasn't open when we went but from what I've seen online it looks like lovely food and the views of course would be incredible.

Lovely walk to do in the afternoon, amazing art and very peaceful alley way. Unfortunately a lot of cars that can be in the way of the art.
