The Tigers Leap viewpoint is about 8 km from Lonavala. Regarding places to visit in Lonavala, it is among the most well-known sites. A steep drop of more than 650 m makes it a clifftop with a view of the hills and the Western Ghats. People go there to see the beautiful morning and sunset, especially on clear days.

Why Is It Called Tigers Leap?

The name Tigers Leap comes from its unusual shape, which resembles a tiger jumping into the valley. There is a nice view of the valley below from this point, which is not far from INS Shivaji. You should enjoy the breathtaking views from a safe place instead of the cliff's edge, where things could go wrong. Another great thing about Tigers Leap is the echo point.

The Thrilling Cliff Drop and Echo Point

Visitors can experience the thrill of the echo point, located about 650 meters above sea level. It allows them to hear their words bounce through the valley. The views from Tigers Leap are stunning in the morning and sunset, which is why photographers and nature lovers love it. Lonavala tour packages offer the perfect opportunity to explore this breathtaking spot.

Trekking and climbing are popular forms of adventure tourism, and there is a safe fenced area with a view that families and other tourists can use. A small stream nearby is nice to cool off in the rain. You can drive or hike to the spot; if you choose to hike, the last part requires a steep climb.

Best Time to Visit for the Most Scenic Views

The best time to visit Lonavala's Tigers Leap is during the rainy season, which lasts from June to September. During these months, Lonavala's scenery changes into a lush green paradise with rivers and misty clouds covering the hills.

But if you prefer better weather without rain, the months after summer are ideal. From October to January, Lonavala is a great place to visit. This time frame marks the change from the wet rainy season to a warmer winter. The weather stays calm and pleasant, making it a great place to go hiking and touring.

Adventure and Relaxation at Tigers Leap

There is a small waterfall close to this viewpoint. It only runs during the rainy season. When you want to relax in the water, it's better than Bushy Dam because the fall is more substantial. Also, the fall changes from a short, steep drop. It then turns into a stream with a fair amount of force, flowing down to the base of Tiger's Leap.

The spot is often visited by tourists who want to do exciting things like rafting when the stream flow is moderate. This site has safe places to look out over the valley and the nearby areas, making it great for hiking.
