Rafting near Mumbai happens o­n the Kundalika river. We offer three ways of experiencing rafting with us.

The first, is just the rafting trip. You get there o­n your own, and organise your own trip, except for the river run, which will be conducted by our staff. This option costs about Rs.1,100/- per head o­n the weekends and Rs. 900/- o­n other days. You will be expected to arrive at the location by 7am.

The other option would be to book a two day thing with a stay in a resort, or camping out or even combine it with some rock climbing training or a rappelling experience. Owing to the variable choices you might make, there is no standard price, but options range from Rs.2,500/- to Rs.4,000/- for two days, including transport, adventure activity, accommodation and meals.

This is a good choice for those who'd like to have an exceptional time, and would prefer not to handle all the organisation themselves.

We conduct white water rafting o­n the river Kundalika near Kolad o­n the Mumbai Goa highway. In the absence of true white water, we have organized this activity at predetermined timings o­n the flow of the waters released from the dam at Bhire. The resultant “white-water” is not just thrilling, but we have been able to study it well from the point of view of safety. The added advantage is that this location is about a two hour drive from both Mumbai and Pune.
