Geography & terrain
Vihigaon lies in the Palghar district of Maharashtra at about 100 m, 90 km from Mumbai and 10 km from Vaitarna — the adventure village of the region, its 140-m rappel, the falls and the pools set on the Vaitarna river's gorge.
History & culture
The village's story runs with the 1980s adventure era — the adventure village of the 1980s-era rappel life and the 20th-century-era forest era of the Vaitarna hills, with the village's modern role as the weekend stop of the Mumbai circuit and the home of the 140-m rappel and the pools and the 2000s-era camps; the village's history of the 1990s-era adventure boom and the gorge paths, gives Vihigaon its rappel character.
