Soochipara Falls also known as Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is a three-tiered waterfall in Vellarimala, 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.[1] The Sentinel Rock Waterfalls is 200 metres (656 feet) and offers a cliff face that is used for rock climbing. The water from Soochipara Falls later joins Chulika River or popularly known as Chaliyar River after Velarimala Hills near Cherambadi (Tamil Nadu) in Kerala. 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.

Neelimala View Point is the ideal place for adventure lovers. It can be reached via trekking through the mountains of Kalpetta. The surrounding region offers a number of trekking trails. The best thing about the Neelimala View Point is view of the entire valley from the top. The Meenmutty Falls cascading down the rocks is a sight to behold from up here. The way up is characterized by coffee and spices plantations. There are a variety of birds and butterflies which can be spotted in the woods.
