Tiger Falls, Highest single-drop waterfall in Chakrata, India
Description
Tiger Falls is a waterfall near Chakrata that drops approximately 95 meters, creating powerful water currents as it strikes rocky surfaces. The water flows through thick forest and maintains a strong cascade throughout its descent.
History
The waterfall has kept its natural form without commercial development or major alteration. It has remained largely untouched as tourism grew in the broader Uttarakhand region.
Culture
The waterfall holds meaning for visitors as a retreat into untouched nature and forest life. Local people value the site as a place connected to the landscape they inhabit.
Practical
Two hiking routes reach the waterfall: a shorter path of about 1 kilometer or a longer trail of about 5 kilometers through oak forests. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the ground near the cascade can be slippery and wet.
Did you know?
The waterfall flows with water year-round without seasonal interruptions, unlike many other waterfalls in the region. This steady water supply makes it a reliable destination to visit at any time.
