GUTS N GLORY - WATERFALL RAPPELLING AT DODHANI

 

With the advent of the monsoon season, the magnificent mountains of the Sahyadris are in their full green glory! The rains also bring about another drastic change in the landscape; the multitude of small rivulets that combine together to form gorgeous Waterfalls & Rivers that dot the otherwise parched landscape.

 

Join Canvas N Chrome as we let you take a plunge down one such beautiful cascading waterfall & experience the sheer thrill & achievement of having rappelled it.
