Tarzan's villa, since 1995
The Cliffhanger began in 1995 as a home built for the love of the wild – a sturdy stone house on a ridge above Gaganbawda, where the land drops away into the forests of the Sahyadris.
Its nickname, Tarzan's Villa in the Wilderness, says it all. This is a place for people who like their mornings misty, their evenings quiet and their views endless – where the loudest sounds are birdsong and the wind moving through the valley.
Over the years the villa has grown into a retreat for families, friends and celebrations, while keeping the spirit of a private home. You'll find antlers and wildlife paintings on the walls, carved wooden furniture, a dining hall of painted stone beneath a round skylight, and a lawn on the cliff's edge where the only neighbours are the hills.
When you stay here, the whole villa is yours. Our caretaker looks after the house, breakfast is on us for vacation stays, and the rest of the day is yours to fill – or not.
