Tiger’s Leap

Clifftop views can be a humbling experience! You can feel the breeze in your hair, and see the whole city from atop. If this is what excites you, then you must visit Tiger’s Leap or Tiger’s Point.

Situated at a distance of 12 km from Lonavala Railway Station and 12 km from Tung Fort, the point is a scenic vista and a must-visit tourist place in Lonavala.

The Tiger’s Leap (also known as Waghdari) is a cliff-top, which is at a sheer drop of around 650 m. The incline is dramatic and offers stunning views of the hills. And, what probably gets the name of the point is the resemblance of the shape of a leaping tiger.

What you should look out for is the views of the forests and lush greenery. Don’t miss out on the waterfalls and lakes around. If you are traveling during monsoon, then there is also a small waterfall near to this viewpoint, and you’d like the soothing sounds of cascading water. It’s also the best time of the year to be here, as the whole valley turns green, but remember to stay alert and always keep a weather check to plan your travel and activities.

The site is ideal for trekking and adventure-lovers there’s more; you can indulge in activities like rafting. Photographers, you can’t be left behind, you’ll love capturing the magical sunrises and sunsets.

Travelers will love to also plan to visit other local places of interest like Karla Caves, Lohagad Fort, Lions Point, Rajmachi Point, Bhaja Caves, Pawna Lake, Kune Falls, Rajmachi Fort, Bhushi Dam, Bedse Caves, Lonavala Lake, Karnala Bird Sanctuary, Visport Fort, Tikona Fort, and more.
