Konkan Kada overlooks the Konkan region hence the name. Kada means cliff in Marathi.
It is a standing tall natural wall that has a concave structure. Because of this structure, you can experience many natural phenomena such as vertical cloud bursts, circular rainbows also called a Brocken spectre.
The clouds nearing the cliff get sucked into the pitfall area below and thrown vertically into the sky. This creates the impression of the vertical cloud burst.
When there is a bit of mist in the valley and the sun is exactly behind the person facing the valley, a circular rainbow can be seen.
