BLUE WHALE NATURE ASSOCIATION

Reg no: Mah/656/06/Tha

Dear friends,

We are glad to inform you that we at BWNA have arranged Waterfall Rappelling on 30th Aug 2015 to Dudhiware Waterfalls, Lonavala.

This waterfall is located en route Lonavala to Pawna dam road near Dudhiware village. This is a seasonal waterfall. The place is an ideal spot for rappelling.

Rappelling (English Name) also known as abseiling (German Name) is a method of a quick and safe descend after a climb. It’s an act of descending a mountain face by sliding down a rope, which is attached to a body harness and fastened to an overhead projection, with sufficient friction provided as to make the speed of descent controllable.
The only difference here is we will be rappelling down through a flowing waterfall, pouring water on us as we come down. It’s the best exercise to overcome the fear of height. Feel the thrill of suspension at the height. Come experience the incredible feeling of success and accomplishment when you touch the ground.
