About the Event
Combo experience of Garbett Plateau Trek with waterfall rappelling.
Garbett Plateau is one of the beautiful vast plateaus near Matheran hill station, the highest point near the plateau is called the Garbett point. On one side of the plateau is the Matheran hill station and on the other side, we have Dhom lake surrounded by lush green landscapes, especially during the monsoon season.
Our trek starts from Matheran, a flat hike to the Garbett Plateau, steep descend to Sagachiwad, then visit to the Diksal Waterfall for the rappelling activity.
Waterfall Rappelling is one of the adventurous, thrilling experiences in the monsoon. The location chosen for this activity is Diksal Waterfall, a very scenic lush greenery location, one-hour hike from Bhivpuri, adjoining the banks of Dhom Lake, hike alongside the narrow stream to reach the waterfall spot.
All the instructions will be briefed by our team on rappelling along with safety measures, every individual will be equipped with PPE like climbing helmet, harness, knee guards, rappel under our expert's supervision.
