Dear Friends, GREETINGS!!! After the grand successful inaugural trek, let us have a higher level of fun and in the process also learn some technical skills. We all love to play in water, particularly in the fresh cold water during monsoon. We enjoy the raindrops landing on our face, we take a dip in a river or a stream, we sit under a waterfall and feel it patting on our back. Flowing water never stops us from bringing our childish(but true) playful self out. Many of us also must looked at a waterfall and would have wondered what's behind that veil of water, how does it look and feel from the inside..!   Sahyamitra presents to you an opportunity to have a look at that curtain of water from the inside and from above with the dual event of 'Waterfall rappelling' and 'Flying fox '  Rappelling or abseiling is the safest, commonest and fastest way to descend vertically. When done in a waterfall, it's called waterfall rappelling.   Flying fox/zip lining is used to cross over a valley without going down and up again. It is still a common way of transporting people, cattle and provisions over a valley in the remote regions of Himalayas. So let us all come together and experience the Strength of Mother Nature.   Event Details:-   Venue: - WATERFALL RAPPELLING AND FLYING FOX  Bekhre Waterfall, Bhivpuri (before Karjat). Category : Technical event. Grade : easy Region: Karjat Base Village: Bekhre village Cost : -     Rs. 900/- For Rappelling only                   Rs. 1200 /- For both Rappelling and Flying Fox. (Cost includes transportation from Bhivpuri station and back, Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and snacks, hiring charges of technical equipment and experts) Date & Day: - 26th July 2015, Sunday Meeting Spot: - 26th Sunday morning AT  C.S.T.  STATION at 5:00am and proceed by the 5:20am train to Bhivpuri. 5:40am - Dadar 5:50am - Kurla 6:17am - Thane 6:48am - Kalyan   Age Limit: 12yrs and above for the activities.
