Daredevil Indian Travel Vloggers Fall to Their Death in Yosemite

Travel vloggersA travel vlogging couple from India had their last journey in Yosemite, California.

Authorities found Meenakshi Moorthy, 30, and her husband, Vishnu Viswanath, 29, had fallen nearly 800-feet in their attempt at taking a selfie near Taft Point. CBS reports that despite being a popular view point for tourists, Taft Point does not have a railing to protect people from its ledge. As a result, a park spokesman said more than ten people have died this year from falling or natural causes.

The East Bay Times stated that the couple was infamous for taking daring photos in considerably dangerous places. In their Instagram, the couple once posted a photo near the edge of the Grand Canyon and the caption mentioned, “A lot of us including yours truly is a fan of daredevilry attempts of standing at the edge of cliffs and sky scrapers, but did you know that wind gusts can be FATAL??? Is your life just worth one photo?”

Same applies when we get our knickers in a twist and hog a spot till we get the perfect shot? I know I know, I am guilty as charged for all of this ?‍♀️ and if I didn’t have Mr. Two Goody Shoes, Vishnu ? with me, I am not even sure if I would have written this post. … Let us all try to be responsible digital citizens and use our “numbers” to be transparent and honest, shall we?? None of us is perfect and the more we accept it and share our flaws as much as our wins, we are one step closer to creating a sane social media without the scary brouhahas.?✨ … Still there?? Woohoo, a backflip is in order, or wait maybe a pizza? ? What about a unicorn ice-cream ? ? with some Disney-approved cotton candy ?? and pixie dust infused sprinkles ?‍♀️ if…..IF you could tell me the one time you were effin’ proud of being candid and real AF in social media? ? … PS – Not sponsored but sweatshirt is from @radearthsupply • • • #grandcanyonnps #northrim #instagramaz #visitarizona #travelarizona #shotzdelight #discovertheroad #usaroadtrip #visittheusa #outdoorsusa #exploretheusa #womenwhoexplore #iamtb #radparks #thediscoverer #gtgi #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #hikemore #radgirlslife #travelreality #dreamscape @womenwhoexplore @visit_arizona @visittheusa @shotzdelight
