Lonavala
Tiger's Leap is Lonavala's most iconic viewpoint — a dramatic cliff edge where the Sahyadri plateau drops sharply into a valley 650 metres below, and the rock formation resembles a tiger mid-spring. In monsoon, the valley below fills with cloud and mist, and the viewpoint seems to float above a white ocean — one of the most surreal and cinematic views in all of Maharashtra. At any time of year, it's worth the short drive and walk for the perspective.
The best views are in the hour after a rain shower when the valley fills with rolling clouds — bring a waterproof jacket and be patient if the clouds are thick on arrival.
