Tiger's Leap (Tiger Point)
टायगर पॉईंट
A cliff viewpoint about 650 metres high, its rock shaped like a tiger leaping off, with monsoon waterfalls and clouds surging up from the valley below.
Tiger's Leap sits on a ridge about 7 km south of Lonavla, with a sheer drop of roughly 650 metres. Seen from the valley floor, the cliff looks like a tiger springing into the air, which is how it got its name. During the monsoon, several small waterfalls spill over the edge and mist rises from the deep gorge, making it Lonavla's most famous sight. Railings line the cliff edge, and rows of snack stalls sell the standard fare of corn on the cob and fried onion fritters with milk tea. Lion's Point, about 1 km away, can be visited on the same outing. Weekends and the rainy season bring heavy traffic, so aim to arrive early.
