01 — The story

Tiger Falls lies in the hilly country around Chakrata in Uttarakhand, about 20 km from Chakrata itself and 98 km from Dehradun, the state capital.

Visitors reach it on foot along a trail of roughly 5 km that runs through forest of oak and rhododendron. Its height is given as 312 feet, and on that basis it is regarded as the highest direct waterfall anywhere in India.
