Travel influencer Aanvi Kamdar dies in Kumbhe waterfall accident
Raigad: Aanvi Kamdar, a 26-year-old Instagram influencer from Mumbai known for her love of monsoon tourism, tragically lost her life after falling into a gorge at Kumbhe waterfall in Raigad, Maharashtra.
Aanvi was on a trip with seven friends when the incident occurred around 10:30 AM on July 16. While shooting a video near the waterfall, she slipped and fell approximately 300 feet into a deep crevice.
Local authorities responded immediately to the emergency, mobilizing a rescue team that included assistance from the Coast Guard, Kolad rescue team, and Maharashtra State Electricity Board staff.
"After reaching the spot, we found the girl had fallen nearly 300-350 feet. Due to heavy rain and her injuries, it was challenging to extricate her directly. Therefore, we used a vertical pulley system for the rescue," recounted one of the rescuers to NDTV.
Following a six-hour operation, Aanvi was successfully retrieved from the gorge but succumbed to her injuries shortly after being admitted to Managaon sub-district hospital.
In the aftermath, local authorities, including the Tehsildar and Managaon police inspector, issued an appeal to tourists and citizens alike. They urged everyone to enjoy tourism responsibly and prioritise safety while exploring the scenic beauty of the Sahyadri ranges.
