Travel influencer Aanvi Kamdar has died after falling 300 feet into a gorge at a waterfall in India, according to authorities.

The social media content creator, 27, was visiting the Kumbhe waterfall, which is about 80 miles from Mumbai, with seven friends when the accident occurred on Tuesday, July 16, local police confirmed, according to The Economic Times and The Independent.

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

It took rescuers from multiple agencies about six hours to pull Kamdar from the gorge, CBS News reported.

Kamdar was initially responsive and put on a ventilator but died at Mangaon Taluka Government Hospital on Tuesday afternoon, per The Economic Times.

Officials said the accountant by trade was shooting an Instagram reel at the time of the accident, when she lost her footing and fell into the gorge, per The Hindustan Times and CBS News.
