Kundalika Rafting Camp at Kolad

What Oye?

Kundalika Rafting - A 14 km stretch of sheer adrenaline-pumping white water. If you get your thrills from pitting yourself against the elements, navigating the rampaging Kundalika's white waters on a raft is perfect for you. It's wet. It's wild. It's thrilling. It's quite literally a rush.

The Kundalika which originates from the Shayadris and meanders through several twists and turns makes Kolad one of the adventure hotspots near Mumbai. The monsoons make it so beautiful that it would be a sin not going rafting on the Kundalika when staying as close as Mumbai or Pune. It's just a 2 hour drive from either cities.

Rafting at Kolad is a 14 kms stretch of roller-coaster ride on the waters gushing out from the Bhira dam. It presents you with as many as 10 grade II and grade III rapids to find out for yourself your appetite for thrills. At the end of 90 minutes of rafting, you might be tired but you will definitely feel refreshed. Towards the end of the trip the waters become quite calm and you can climb down for a swim if your guide permits.

Safety is given utmost importance with experienced guides helping and guiding you at every moment. Life-jackets and helmets are mandatory gear and will keep you safe throughout the trip.

* This activity is not recommended for asthma and heart patients, pregnant ladies and children below 14 years of age.
