Equipped with figure-8 descenders, leather friction gloves, and dual independent safety backups operated by mountain rescue guides.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
1 DaysDesigned for optimal acclimatization and scenic golden hours
Assemble at Vashisht village at 10:00 AM. Embark on a scenic 25-minute pine trail hike up towards the lower cliffs of Jogini Waterfall. Inspect the multi-point bolted anchor system and learn friction-braking dynamics using Figure-8 descenders and locking carabiners. Strap on your harness, helmet, and heavy-duty leather rappelling gloves. Hook into the dual-rope system. Lean your torso 90 degrees out into space over the cliff edge, walk your feet backward down the wet rock face, and control your descent rate with your brake hand while water spray cascades all around you!
Trekking Guidelines & Mountain Safety Protocols
Certified procedures by Himalayan Wilderness Leaders & First Responders
Brake Hand Rule
The brake hand (holding the rope behind your hip) MUST NEVER leave the rope. It acts as your primary braking control.
Body Stance Posture
Keep feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly flexed, and lean back so your body is perpendicular (90°) to the cliff.
