Six girls had a narrow escape from a churning waterfall drop after being swept away in a terrifying surge while enjoying a picnic.

The dramatic moment unfolded on Sunday at Lagurahi hill waterfall in Gaya, Bihar, India, as families enjoyed a day out by the cascading water.

Visitors are shown relaxing at the base of the falls when the water level suddenly rises, creating powerful currents that drag the group downstream.
