Evening light slips off the Sahyadri ridge at Sunset Point, and Saputara Lake below turns from silver to slate. In the monsoon, clouds roll right across the plateau, and the green hills fade in and out of view.
Down the ghat road, the forest takes over. Gira Falls spills into the Ambica near Waghai, the narrow-gauge train still rattles in from Bilimora, and Ahwa fills with drums and dancers for Dang Darbar at Holi. Rains fall heavily from June to September, and winters are dry, cool and clear. A Local Friend tells you when to reach the falls early and when to linger on the plateau until the light goes.
