Tiger Fall is a 312-foot high waterfall located in the dense coniferous forests of the Chakrata hills in Uttarakhand. It is one of the highest direct-falling waterfalls in India, where water cascades down from a limestone cliff into a small pond. The site is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,400 meters above sea level. The approach involves a trek through oak and rhododendron vegetation. The base of the fall features a plunge pool suitable for wading, though the water temperature remains consistently cold. It is located within the Kanaser Range, roughly 20 kilometers from the Chakrata cantonment area. The surrounding terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep valleys.
