They were called in after three earlier rescue attempts by coast guards were unsuccessful due to the heavy downdraft.

His friends, who had gone on the trek with him, alerted the authorities after they were unable to rescue him using sticks and ropes.

It was during the early hours of Wednesday that two members of the rescue team rappled down the hill till they reached the trekker and hauled him up.
Footage of the rescue has been posted on the official site of the southern command of the Indian Army, with the man seen smiling with the army personnel.
