Event Details
About the Waterfall Rappelling:
Waterfall rappelling (also known as canyoning or waterfall abseiling) is an adventure sport where you descend a steep, cascading waterfall using a rope and specialized friction devices. You walk backward down the slippery rock face while the rushing water crashes around you. The current waterfall rappelling height is around 150ft.
About the Hike:
Sindola fort trek is one of the lesser-known treks in the very popular region of Maharashtra. It is situated in the Malshej ghat in Junnar region at an altitude of 3,680 ft from the sea level.
Sindola fort dates back to similar times of Nimgiri and Hadsar. This fort was used as a watchtower as it offers a complete view of Malshej Ghat, Pargaon village and other famous forts.
The fort is very small compared to other famous forts in the Junnar region. However, the ruins of bastions, few water reservoirs and a Ganesha idol at the entrance, are at the top of the fort will set you wondering of the beauty. The rock-cut steps while climbing to the pinnacle will leave you astonished.
