We stayed at the Taj Wayanad and Soochipara Waterfall is about 2 hours drive from there. Pros : It's a very clean and enticing waterfall unadulterated by the human pollutants since it's a plastic free zone completely. The tickets are reasonably priced at Rs. 150 per adult. It's a must visit for healthy people who are nature lovers. Cons : Not recommended for people with health issues or little kids as approaching the waterfall requires trekking of approx 1km incline and kuchha rasta. Tips : 1. Carry your water in non plastic small bottle as there are no stalls in the way and the waterfall. 2. Wear comfortable footwear and clothes. 3. Take short breaks and enjoy the trek. 4. Wear sunscreen. 5. The best time to visit is from Oct - Feb. 6. Carry pair of change if you want to get drenched. But there are no changing rooms. 7. The approach to the parking lot is winding with tea plantations and breath taking views on both the sides. 8. Be careful of the leeches and step on the rocks carefully. 9. Elderly people and people with lesser stamina must avoid the trek. 10. Soochipara Waterfalls is at Vellarimala, about 35 km from Wayanad. 11. Heaven of the adventure seekers & nature lovers. 12. Carry small eatables like stuff parantha but not in plastic as it will not be allowed to be taken down. 13. The rates and timings are attached in the pics.
