A travel and lifestyle Instagram influencer from India died when she fell 300 feet at a waterfall in Maharashtra earlier this week.
Aanvi Kamdar, 27, from Mumbai, who had 270,000 followers on social media, was accompanied by friends as she visited the scenic spot in western India on Tuesday (16).
“She fell on the hard, slippery patch of rocks about 300 feet into the valley and couldn't be spotted initially”, rescuer Shantanu Kuveskar was quoted as saying.
Multiple teams took part in the rescue attempt, which was complicated by the bad weather.
About 50 people were involved in the six-hour search for Kamdar, who was shooting a video, reports said
A police official from Mangaon in Maharashtra said she lost her balance while enjoying the scenic view.
Kamdar was taken to hospital, but died of her injuries. She was known for her social media posts featuring travel within India and abroad, as well as on fashion and food.
Kamdar was a chartered accountant and previously worked at Deloitte.
