An Instagram post depicting his miraculous rescue is blowing up online.
According to Jam Press, the near-miss occurred while Gopal Pundlik Chavan, 30, had been exploring the Ajanta caves, a series of majestic Buddhist cave temples carved into the rocks in Maharashtra.
Disaster struck after the adventurer reportedly tried to take a selfie and ended up plunging into a ravine, which goes down as far as 2,000 feet.
Thankfully, Chavan survived the fall, after which he was fished out by authorities and Samaritans.
Harrowing footage shows the moment that the climber was extracted from the water with a long rope manned by over 10 people.
