Meenmutty is literally inside a rain forest region and only adventure seekers could be seen moving in this area. Popular amongst domestic tourists as well as locals, the other famous waterfall 'Soochipara', is quite easy to reach because of the concrete steps the DTPC (District Tourism Promotion Council) had constructed!.
Difficult terrain and tougher ways to reach such destinations seemed to have been the flavour of the season for us. So we hardly went to trek to Soochipara waterfalls.
So when Thomas suggested that we trek down Meenmutty waterfalls and then climb up the Soochipara waterfalls through the thick rain forests, we were hooked on to the idea. Climbing down one of the steepest waterfalls and then hiking to the other one seemed quite suitable for the kind of fun we were looking for.
Since we had only two days during the weekend to explore, we decided to skip the Nilambur trek for some other time and do the Meenmutty-Soochipara trek instead.
Who would have thought that this was going to be an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime!
