There are many other adventures you can book in Kolad while you’re there. Whitewater river rafting in the Kundalika is a great choice, but you will not be able to do it on the same day as your bungee jump, as river rafting in Kolad also begins at 08:00 am.
Opt to spend the night here instead. If you arrive at 08:00 on the first day, you can complete your bungee jump immediately. After that, enjoy a day of fun activities at your campsite.

The next morning, you can go rafting which is a thrilling adventure!
Bungee jumping in Kolad is ideal all year round. However, in the winter months, you will catch splendid views of the Kundalika River and the surrounding greenery owing to the clear visibility. Monsoon is another favourite of many adventurers when the showers throw in an extra splash of thrill!
