The guide
About Soochippara Falls
Soochippara Falls, also called Sentinel Rock Waterfalls, drops in three tiers through deciduous, evergreen and montane forest near Vellarimala. The 15 to 20 minute drive from Meppadi passes some of the best tea estates in Wayanad.
The falls are about 200 metres high, and the rock face is used by adventure groups for climbing. The pool at the foot of the falls is popular for a swim when the water is calm.
Local tips
- Go in the morning before the tour groups arrive
- Carry a change of clothes if you plan to swim
- The path down to the falls can be slippery
- Combine with the Chembra base and Neelimala viewpoint
