'''Soochipara Falls''' also known as '''Sentinel Rock Waterfalls''' is a three-tiered waterfall in Vellarimala, [[Wayanad district|Wayanad]], India. It is surrounded by [[deciduous]], [[evergreen]] and [[montane]] forests. Locally referred to as Soochipara ("Soochi" meaning "Needle" and "Para" meaning "Rock"), the 15-20 minute drive from Meppadi to Sentinel Rock Waterfalls has views of a number of Wayanad's tea estates.<ref>{{cite web|title=Major Waterfalls|url=http://www.keralatourism.org/wayanad/waterfalls-wayanad.php}}</ref> The Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is 200 metres (656 feet) and offers a cliff face that is used for rock climbing.<ref>{{cite web

Once people reach the parking area, they have to pass through a security check at the entrance where they make sure you don't carry any plastic. It takes 10-15 minutes walk to the waterfalls and water flow is less during summer, which makes it easy to reach the rocks where water falls.
