Waterfall Rappelling.... a life time experience






I think the “monsoon me” in me has taken up to its fullest....trekking, hiking, riding every weekend to some of the most picturesque locations in the Sahyadris.
Its has been ever refreshing and thrilling to be amongst those daunting mountains with clouds engulfing them as if to cast a spell of invisibility,
the waterfalls being swayed away before touching ground into a fine mist of smokey mist, seems as if the water itself wants don’t wanna come down,
the winds so pure and clean that it makes you breath higher (feels the same way like you come out from moccha after spending hours inside ;-)

I regrettably lost touch from much of this beautiful nature during my engineering, but here i am.... all back in form, every sunday packing my bags. The experience is had the last sunday was really a breath taking one.
Waterfall Rappelling........WTF thats the first reacting i had..!!!
How can one geting himself in a position right below a 6 story high, one step waterfall, tied up all alone in the air, facing the waters rushing onto you... The pressure was so much that you just couldn’t think of having the guts to look up. standing under a waterfall (which most of us havve done) is far different than decending down with the water itself.

The chilling spine that it gave the first time we saw the falls, was unforgettable... the winds getting stronger, my turn getting closer... oh man... i was going cold. Getting geared up was another huge task. Trekking equipments can sometimes be really complicated. The harness, clamps, ropes, karabiners and most imp.. the helmet.

To write about what i was going through as the waters stoned me to obstruct their path... would be far away from the real experience (partly bcoz of my writting skills ;-p ).
The rattling sound of the waters some how produced an intense hollowness. I forgot everything, who i am, what i do, where...why....everything...!!! all i was concern was not the fear of falling, but to enjoy the openness of the nature around me.
Never can one forget such an experience....!!!
