Never was anything great achieved without danger.

Duke’s Nose, Lion’s Point, Bekre, DudhiwareKhind, Vihi and Ashane. We ain’t just dropping names but we have rappelled at all these places with the rappel heights going from 140 feet in waterfalls at Ashane and Bekre to 1000 feet at Lion’s point. The word to explain each of them, “exhilarating, adrenalin pumping and confidence building”.
The Duke’s Nose Rappelling at Lonavlaor Bekre and Ashane near Panvelare said to be breath-taking – literally and figuratively given the traverse at the ends of rock patch. Use this to boost the confidence of your team mates as a part of team strengthening and leadership skill training. This is as much an individual activity as a team activity.
We even organise valley crossing and zip lining events and they will make sure that you hold on to your dear life with those ropes. The best times to do waterfall rappelling are during June- September with Bekre , Ashane and Vihi being the best and for other seasons the Duke’s Nose is just epic !
All our events have certified mountaineers with every equipment certified by experts before the event.
