Nestled in the dense evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, Soochipara Falls is encircled by lush greenery and diverse wildlife. The name 'Soochipara' can be translated to 'Needle Rock' due to the needle-shaped rock formation near the falls.

Entry closes as soon as 1200 people arrive. Plan your trip early
