Waterfall Rappelling at Dodhani with OffBeat Sahyadri on 29th of July 2012
Dear Offbeaters,
We
invite you for an adventurous journey of rappelling through a gigantic
waterfall at dodhani on 29th of
July 2012
Trivia
Height: Approx 120 feet
Grade: Medium.
Location : Dodhani Panvel
Rappelling is a quick way of descending
heights using adventure gear and involves sliding down the ropes. The speed of
descend is controlled by the friction. Proper belay support makes this event
100% safe.
Waterfalls always fascinate us. Don’t they?
Every monsoon we visit number of waterfalls to get drenched. It feels amazing
when the water hits our body with the speeding force.
Imagine how exciting it will be to walk down
the waterfall and experiencing the trill, the force, the pressure and the
adventure.
It gives the most incredible feeling of
success and accomplishment when you touch the ground, overcoming all your fears
of height or water.

Rules and regulations:
1. Do understand that we do
not arrange picnics. It follows that if one seeks luxury and absolute comfort
then we can hardly help them. ;)
2. Offbeat Sahyadri believe
in being one with nature and that is possible only when we shed all city
slicker attitudes. Of course by that we do not suggest that one should be ready
for any kind of nonsense.
3. Utmost care is taken to
ensure safety of the group and care is taken that no one is inconvenienced
because of factors within our control.
4. We do expect our
offbeater friends to understand group dynamics and leave at home their
individuality. They should be prepared to share and care. That makes and all
the physical and mental exhaustion forgettable and the trek itself becomes
unforgettable! Trust us on this.
Now some basic codes:
Respect nature:
1. Absofreakinglutely no
littering! Carry your own trash. If you are found littering then we will
request you to pick it up. Friends, it is really not nice to throw garbage
around and it only reflects upon us. Will we do this to our own houses?
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!
2. Do not disturb the flora
and fauna. No making pretty bouquets of grabbed flowers and blooms. No feeding
and intimidating birds and other animals. Think how you would feel if someone
barges into your house and threatens you. The jungle is THEIR home. So, Capital
NO= NO!
3. Remember, the mountain
has a mind of his own. Beware and do not make the mistake of taking him for
granted. It sounds weird but it’s true.
With fellow trekkers:
1. It is fun to interact
and get to know people from different walks of life. Feel free to take the
opportunity to expand your social circles.
2. Share water and food.
Nothing else is a better ice breaker than being offered water or a bite of your
sandwich!
3. Care for your fellow
trekkers. It is not nice to be self centered and unamicable.
For your own safety:
1. The organizers and you
yourself are equally responsible for your safety. We cannot take the blame for
injuries or inconveniences arising out of actions outside the organizers
instructions and acts of nature.
2. Simply put, stay with
the group. Do not rush far too ahead or lag too behind. We understand that
everyone has a different stamina and we try to keep the group bound together.
3. Do not wander off from
the main trail. Whenever there is no established trail, strictly stay with the
group. Be within the sight of the person ahead of you and the one behind you.
It helps.
4. One must understand that
the group leader is responsible for the entire group and may have to take some
tough decisions at times. If one expects a memorable experience with us then we
expect full cooperation and discipline. To sum up, the leader’s decision will
be final and binding on all offbeaters.
5. Finally, the non
arguable part. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use and alcohol consumption
is strictly prohibited.
Regards,
Team
OffBeat Sahyadri
