Sentinel Rock Waterfalls
Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is a three-tiered waterfall in the Indian state of Wayanad. Forests of deciduous, evergreen, and montane trees surround it. Sentinel Rock, also known as Soochipara Waterfalls, is a destination where both the trek and the scenery are unreal. To reach the summit, people drive across difficult terrain and hike a naturally rocky path. They never, however, grumble about the end outcome.
The 15-20-minute drive from Meppadi to Sentinel Rock Waterfalls, known locally as Soochipara ("Soochi" means "Needle" and "Para" means "Rock"), offers vistas of several Wayanad tea fields. Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is 200 meters (656 feet) tall and has a rock-climbing cliff wall. The water from Soochipara Falls eventually flows into the Chulika River, also known as the Chaliyar River after the Velarimala Hills in Cherambadi (Tamil Nadu) in Kerala. When individuals arrive at the parking lot, they must go through a security check at the entry to ensure they are not carrying any plastic. It takes a 10-15 minute walk to the waterfalls and water flow is less during summer, which makes it easy to reach the rocks where water falls.
