Tiger's Leap

About

Tiger's Leap is located at an elevation of 650 m. From this cliff-top that provides a sheer drop, tourists can enjoy view of the valley situated below. Named because of its appearance like a tiger leaping into the valley, it is also popularly known as 'Vagdari'. At the site, tourists can also find an Echo Point.
For travelling up to INS Shivaji, buses are available. After reaching this point, tourists can cover the remaining 1.6 km by walking. There is a small waterfall active only during the monsoon season, just around the site. The fall becomes a stream with a fair amount of force, after a brief steep descent.
