Soochipara Falls
സൂചിപ്പാറ വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടം
A three-tiered waterfall in the forest, where water drops about 200 meters between needle-like rocks, with a pool below for wading.
The waterfall is also called Sentinel Rock Falls. From the car park, it's about 1.5 km on foot through tea plantations and forest down to the base of the falls, and the return is uphill. The pool at the bottom can be waded in during the dry season, but in the rainy season the current is strong and swimming is prohibited. The Meppadi area, where the falls are located, suffered a major landslide in July 2024, and the waterfall was closed for a long time. Check the local forest department announcements for the current opening status.
