Waterfall Rappelling & Flying Fox at Bhivpuri


Double Adrenaline Dhamaka at Nisarga Bhraman this year with Waterfall Rappelling & Flying Fox over a Magnificent Thundering Waterfall!!!

The monsoons bring out the Best of the Sahyadris; a carpet of green covers the mountains and the occasional showers along with the fog and mist add to its beauty. The rains give a fresh breath of life to a lot of waterfalls both big and small, which majestically cascade over these very mountains.

Rappelling down the waterfall is an experience of a lifetime! The sound of the cascading water along with the mist & spray that accompanies it makes the descend a thrilling experience.

The fun does not end there though; you have to walk back up to the top of the waterfall only to Zip down Across it via Flying Fox.

One can also choose to relax in a safe pond with a mini cascading waterfall; which in itself is Therapeutic.
