About Tiger Falls

Tiger Falls is one of the highest direct, unhindered waterfalls in India, plunging from a sheer vertical height of 312 feet (95 meters) into a crystal clear emerald pool, located roughly 20 kilometers from Chakrata in Uttarakhand. Perched at an altitude of nearly 1,400 meters in the rugged Jaunsar Bawar hill range, the waterfall is known locally as Keraao Pachad.

Tiger Falls in Chakrata, Uttarakhand

Surrounded by steep deodar clad cliffs and gushing mountain streams, the roar of the cascade echoes across the ravine. Adventurous hikers can take a scenic 5 kilometer downhill nature trek from Chakrata cantonment through oak woodlands, while vehicles can drive to the roadhead parking area followed by a short 1 kilometer paved stepped descent to the pool. Visitors enjoy wading in shallow water edges and picnicking on natural stone boulders.

Truth is, feeling the cool water mist spray across your face on a warm afternoon while resting on giant river boulders is pure mountain joy. It stands as the quintessential outdoor adventure destination in western Uttarakhand.
