First responders rushed to the Kumbhe Waterfall in Manjurne, India, and began trying to reach the 27-year-old.
A rescuer told local media: “As soon as we reached the spot, we realised that the girl has fallen nearly 300 to 350 feet.
“Even after reaching her, it was difficult to get her up, as she was injured and it was raining heavily.
“So we decided to get her out using a vertical pulley.”
Rescuer Shantanu Kuveskar added: “She fell on the hard, slippery patch of rocks around 300 ft into the valley and couldn’t be spotted initially.
“She was sent up using a stretcher attached to rappelling ropes.
“Six rescuers climbed down the hill, while another 50 assisted atop the hillock.”
Aanvi was alive and responsive when she was pulled from the gorge six hours later on Tuesday (16 Jul).
She was taken to hospital in nearby Mangaon on ventilatory support, as reported on Need To Know.
However, she died shortly after admission from the severe injuries she’d sustained in the fall.
As well as posting travel content to social media, Aanvi was a chartered accountant.
She and her pals had chosen to go to the waterfall during the local monsoon season to capture it in its full splendour.
Her stunning content had earned her 300,000 followers on Instagram.
Local officials have warned tourists to exercise caution while visiting the mountainous area.
