In Malayalam, soochi means needle and para means rock, which is how the name soochippara is derived. Senital rock waterfalls, stretch high, and fall in three stretches, ranging from 100 feet to 300 feet. The three stretches fall into meenmutty, soochippara and kanthanpara. These combine and flow into the Chaliyar River.

After the cross, you trek down two kilometers through dense equatorial forest over steep rocks. The pool allows for swimming, water rafting, etc. The tree top huts provide a unique view of the valleys of the Western Ghats and the glimmering shallow waters of the surrounding springs.
