September–November and March–May for pleasant weather and clear views. The falls are also full during the monsoon (July–August) but rains can make access slippery and risky.

Mountain weather: cool to cold in winter (possible near-freezing temperatures), mild and pleasant in spring and autumn, heavy rainfall in monsoon.

Located near the Chakrata area of Uttarakhand. Typical travel route is from Dehradun to Chakrata by road (Chakrata is roughly 90–100 km from Dehradun), then local roads to the Tiger Falls parking/approach point. A short steep walk or descent (steps/trail of about 0.5–1 km) leads down to the base/viewpoint. Road conditions can be narrow and winding; a high-clearance vehicle is helpful. Limited public transport—best reached by private vehicle or taxi from Chakrata.

Half-day to full-day depending on starting point (from Chakrata expect a few hours including travel and time at the falls).

Sturdy walking shoes, light warm layers (spring/autumn), heavier warm clothing in winter, rain jacket and waterproof footwear in monsoon, sun protection and a small first-aid kit.

Try local Garhwali dishes available in Chakrata and nearby villages (simple home-style meals). Souvenirs include handmade woolens, shawls, and local handicrafts sold in village markets.
