Waterfall rappelling is an adventure sport that can clearly challenge your limits. In this sport, you’ll have to descend down a deep or shallow waterfall using safety gears such as ropes, descenders, knots, harnesses, helmets, gloves, knee-pads, and boots.

Various factors such as anchors, access, the volume of water, and rock structure are taken into consideration when rappelling spots are chosen, in order to make the experience noteworthy and challenging.

Although waterfall rappelling is an exciting sport, it can be a that dangerous because it can bring about breathlessness, suffocation or other breathing problems when you’re under the waterfall, usually when the volume of water around you is very high. There may be instances when you may hit a rock or lose your balance and turn upside down. For this very reason, the activity calls for extreme caution and expert supervision.

In the dark recesses of the mind, a disease known as FEAR feasts upon the souls of those who cannot overcome its power...

Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane? Its just that they are more adventurous. Take edge off experiences ..let the heart race, world flash before your eyes. 


It pretty well sums up my general approach to adventure sports like skydiving, bungee jumping, white water rafting and the like i.e what is life with out the kick of adrenaline.

Fitness and sports have always been an inseparable part of my life. I have represented badminton, cricket, volleyball teams at different levels. 

Trekking started with family and like minded friends. Exploring the unknown has always been an excitement.
