Treks & waterfalls in Wayanad
Waterfalls, peaks and forest trails, with the start times and rules that matter.
Soochipara Waterfalls
A three-tiered waterfall reached by a short, steep walk of 1–2 km through forest. The pool at the base is lovely when the flow is gentle; never swim alone or in high water.
