They added: ‘Even after we reached her, it was difficult to get her up because she was injured and it was raining heavily. So we decided to get her out using a vertical pulley.’

Shantanu Kuveskar, another rescuer, described the challenging conditions: ‘She fell on the hard, slippery rock about 90 metres down in the valley and could not be spotted initially.

‘She was brought up on a stretcher attached to abseiling ropes. Six rescuers climbed down the hill, while another 50 people helped on the hilltop.’

Kamdar was alive and conscious when she was finally pulled from the gorge after a six-hour rescue operation.

She was taken to a hospital in nearby Mangaon on life support, but sadly died of her injuries shortly after admission.

In addition to her vibrant travel content, which had earned her 300,000 followers on Instagram and showcased her visits to Turkey, Azerbaijan and the Maldives, Kamdar was an accountant.

She and her friends visited the waterfall to capture its full splendor during the monsoon season.

Local officials have since warned tourists to be careful when visiting the mountainous area, especially during the rainy season, when conditions can be particularly dangerous.

The story is about a couple who, during a photo shoot, jump from a railway bridge into a 27-metre deep gorge to escape an oncoming train.

Shocking footage shows the pair falling from the Gormaghat Bridge in Pali, Rajasthan in northwestern India, around noon on July 15, seriously injuring themselves.

The poignant moment was captured on video, showing the couple creating content for social media as the train roars into view.

The couple were completely engrossed in their photoshoot and didn’t notice the train until it was only a few meters away.

In a desperate attempt to avoid the oncoming locomotive, they jumped from the bridge and fell into the gorge.
