    Kundalika River Rafting

    Kundalika river rafting

    The Kundalika River is a usually serene river that flows through Kolad in Maharashtra. It is surrounded by green fields and lush forests and the weather is cool and pleasant for most months of the year.

    Every morning the Kundalika River is fed with excess water released from the Bhira dam, turning it into a seething, frothing beast for a couple of hours. This is when you will be rafting on the river, battling rapids generated by the gushing water. There are rapids of Grade II and III along a 13kms stretch. When you’re safely past the rapids, your guide will allow you to jump in the water for a refreshing swim.

    Every weekend (and weekdays), travellers and adventure seekers from Mumbai and Pune visit here to experience Kundalika river rafting and enjoy the weather.

    Types of Rapids on the Kundalika River

    The Kundalika river rafting starts in the morning when the water released from the dam turns it ferocious with rapids. There are different levels of rapids that this thrilling experience will take you through, from Grade II to Grade III. With moderate rapids and slightly stronger waves, Grade II rapids are a great way to work on your manoeuvring skills.

    Grade III rapids have rougher waters, with high waves and sudden drops, making it more challenging. When you're entering these rapids, be sure to follow the instructions of your instructors and always be alert. Your whole rafting experience will last for about 2 hours.

    One day rafting package

    You can book a one-day rafting package in Kolad to get the most out of your adventure in a day. Arrive at Kolad by 8 am so you'll be on time for your rafting session. You can choose between an only rafting package or a package that includes lunch at a nearby campsite.

    Only rafting package is the most economical choice but a rafting package that includes lunch would be the better option as you'll be hungry after your rafting session and there aren't many restaurants around. You can also opt for packages that include adventure activities at the campsite, for an entire day of fun.

    Kundalika river rafting with an overnight stay

    There are a number of scenic campsites located on the banks of the Kundalika River in Kolad or in the middle of the hills. Depending on your group size, you can choose from Swiss tents, cabins, caravans, rooms, cottages or dorms. You'll enjoy warm bonfire nights, eat delicious buffet meals and sleep comfortably in the midst of nature. The next day, you'll embark on your thrilling rafting adventure and try your hand at different adventure activities.

      We recently experienced river rafting which was book through The Great Next, since it was a very spontaneous plan we had less than a day’s time to plan. But Dhanraj from The great next helped us throughout to find the right plan on immediate basis. The Rafting was conducted by highly professional guide. (Haresh from Wilder west adventures) Very happy with the service and experience.

      This is ajay here. An adrenaline junkie. Recently I was looking for my fix. Dhanraj from the great next helped me out greatly. I decided to go to kollard for river rafting. Since it was my first time goin there and that too a solo trip on bike i had a ton of questions but he was very sincere and patient in answering( I kept harrasing him for hours and even postponed the trip once). As with anywhere else in India the prices on the spot are always jacked up but to my surprise I got a great package customized to my requirements for a modest price? after goin there I realized I was actually paying the least among all other guests (Especially those who sighed up with the player who's name begins with thrill?). The ride to kollard to pune is about 120km. While goin I went through devkund and tamini ghat. The roads dissolved in some sections . But overall the experience was totally worth it the Rollin hills, greenery, lazy waterfalls, the gentle turns on the ghat roads. On the way back I came through lonavala route. Again a thrill in its own way. We stayed in wilderwest in kollard. This was an amazing location. The best part? I had a huge some dorm reserved for myself?. Made good friends. The best part of solotrip is you go outta your comfort zone and turn all lotta stranger friends into Friends. The staff there were very polite and accommodating. If possible id Recomend to book the cottage overlooking the river. You won't regret it. One word of advice i got from dhanraj that really saved me was to be aware of mosquitos. I used odomers and man was that satisfying. Imma buy stocks of that now ?. Food was good and really felt homemade. Both veg and non veg available. Now the main part-rafting. the instructor amit was experienced. Himself an adrenaline junkie form uttarakhand. He told us (all newbies) the basics and a few neat tricks. Was a really fun dude. We managed to have fun and even rescue a few overboard fellows for other rafts. As for the kudakali river it was beautiful with an amazing lush green surroundings and clean waters. Though it didn't have much visibility. Temp was very cool with slight rains. My suggestion is if you want the proper rafting experience go in peak monsoon by an suv car to this place as it will be very comfortable and the waters currents will have the perfect speed for rafting. My experience was a lil lukewarm as I came after the season got over, fun nonetheless. Next was bungee jumping. A good starting point for beginners as the height Is moderate. I guess I'll just finish it here. Reached back pune via lonavala route. One word of advice to other roadtrippers- the trip will take 5-6 hours one way anyday so plan accordingly. And for a hassle free experience go with the great next. Ps: I'm planning my next scuba dive with these guys
