Soochipara Falls

 The dense forest around you is increasingly vibrating, the birds flutter in anticipation and the steep, shaky path around you is slowly elevating you to a vantage point where they say you're going to encounter a sight only a few have truly witnessed. Your journey ends and a white stream is seen falling headfirst into sharp granite rocks that welcome it as old friends.

Surrounded by deciduous, evergreen and montane forests, this waterfall is regarded as one of the best waterfalls. The drive from Meppadi to Sentinel Rock Waterfalls provides visitors with scenic views of some of the best tea estates in Wayanad. The water here cascades down from a height of 100 to 200 ft and this waterfall is an ideal place for trekking and rock climbing. There is a natural pool created below the falls and it entices the visitors with cool clear water to take a dip in it. The pool beneath the waterfall has facilities for rafting, bathing and other recreational water activities. You will find a number of tree huts in the area, which provide amazing views of the Western Ghats. There are a number of springs and shallow pools of water in the area.
