# What is
Rappelling? Rappelling
is nothing but climbing down a measurably high rock with the help of a rope,
tied to you, with harness & descender. Sometimes you get to rest on the
rock; sometimes you get an overhang where you’re in space with nothing around
in 720 deg.
# Event &
site Summary: In the upcoming event, the 1150 ft rappelling will be divided
into 5 patches. 2 will be rappelled on Saturday and remaining 3 on Sunday. Trekkers
will need to start from Mumbai on Friday night and they will return back by
Sunday late night. The night stay in the heart of Malshej valley and besides a
waterfall is the bonus package of this event, so don’t miss it….
