“As soon as we reached the spot, we realised that the girl has fallen nearly 300-350 feet. Even after reaching her, it was difficult to get her up, as she was injured and it was raining heavily. So we decided to get her out using a vertical pulley,” a rescuer told NDTV.
Following a six-hour rescue operation, Aanvi was successfully retrieved from the gorge. Unfortunately, she succumbed to severe injuries sustained during the fall shortly after being admitted to the Managaon sub-district hospital.
In response to the incident, local authorities, including the Tehsildar and Managaon police inspector, issued a plea to both tourists and residents. They urged everyone to responsibly enjoy tourism activities and prioritize safety when exploring the picturesque Sahyadri ranges. Emphasizing the importance of avoiding risky behaviors that could jeopardize lives, they highlighted the need for caution and vigilance in such environments.
Aanvi, a passionate traveler and social media influencer celebrated for her enthusiasm for monsoon tourism, tragically lost her life while capturing the beauty of Kumbhe waterfall. Her deep love for exploring nature’s marvels shone through in her popular social media content, where she shared unique experiences and adventures with her devoted followers.
