Sentinel Rock Waterfalls Wayanad

Sentinel Rock Waterfalls or Soochipara Falls is perhaps the most picturesque travel place located in the periphery of Wayanad. This top tourist attraction of Wayanad is truly a treat for eyes to see the milky white stream of water making its way to the rivers by passing through the rocky cliffs and clinging trees. The waterfall at the end joins Chaliyar River. Tourist can enjoy activities like swimming in the pool in which the water of the fall accumulates. Also, while walking towards the main pool of the waterfall, visitors can see tea plantation, rocky edge and dense forest.

Many guesthouses and homestays are available on the waterfall stretch that offers the striking view of the mountains. Soochipara Falls is the latest fad for the adventures because it serves as an ideal base for trekking and rock climbing. Don't forget to see the panoramic view of the mountains from the tree-top hut.

Getting There

A 20 minute drive from Meppadi in Wayanad will take one close to the location of the waterfall. However, tourists have to then trek for around 30 minutes downwards to reach the main pool.
