Soochipara Waterfalls
Popular destination with spectacular views

Sentinal Rock Falls: (23 kms from Kalpetta, 43 kms from Sultan Bathery, 58
kms from Mananthavadi) Locally known as Soochipara, this is a very
popular leisure destination. While younger visitors love to romp in the
pool formed at the foot of the fall, the more restrained can have equally
good fun just taking in the scenery.
Wayanad Heritage Museum: (25 kms from Kalpetta, 10 kms from Sultan Bathery,
42 kms from Mananthavadi) Located in the town of Ambalavayal, this
museum is home to an interesting collection of artifacts that shed light on
the history, culture and heritage of the Wayanad region. These include
headgear, weapons pottery, and objects associated with tribal life. A series
of pictorial rock edicts referred to as Hero Stones, memorialise a bygone
age of valiant warriors. Adjoining the museum is a small theatre where you
can watch a multimedia presentation on Wayanad. Ph: 04936 260127.
