Content creator Aanvi Kamdar fell to her death at a waterfall in India last July 16. She was 27.

Several outlets, including The Economic Times and The Independent, reported that Kamdar was visiting the Kumbhe Waterfall when the accident happened.

She was shooting an Instagram reel when she lost her footing and fell into the gorge, according to The Hindustan Times and CBS News.

"She fell on the hard, slippery patch of rocks around 300 feet into the valley and couldn't be spotted initially," a rescuer told The Economic Times.

Kamdar was sent up using a stretcher attached to rappelling ropes. Six rescuers climbed down the hill, while 50 others assisted atop the hillock.

According to CBS News, it took rescuers about six hours to pull her from the gorge.

Kamdar was initially responsive and had a ventilator, but died at the Mangaon Taluka Government Hospital later on.

An accountant by profession, Kamdar is known for her travel tips. She has over 294,000 followers on Instagram.

Her final post was on July 15, when she shared her top five places to visit in India during the rainy season.
