Itineraries: Rafting

WideAware -- Dec 15, 2006

Near Mumbai

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.

A sample itinerary would be:

Day 1:

  • Leave Mumbai in the morning to reach the resort/campsite for a late lunch.
  • Some time to relax and refresh
  • Evening session of rappelling or rock climbing
  • Tea
  • Free time at the pool
  • Dinner

Day 2:

  • Wake up early - about 5:30 am with bed tea and biscuits
  • Early breakfast (quite hurried - or we can pack it)
  • Leave for the rafting site by 6:30am
  • Reach rappelling site, allottment of equipment - rafts, life jackets, helmets, paddles, etc.
  • Explanation of use of safety systems, common commands, demonstration, and practice in placid waters
  • The actual rafting run
  • Reach the end of run, return to starting point to collect belongings left behind and change clothes
  • Return to the resort for a late lunch
  • Some free time for packing, etc.
  • Leave for Mumbai.

For those who opt o­nly for the river run, the description of the rafting is the same, but transportation and meals will not be provided.

If you wish to book a trip, it is important to make bookings at least 2 weeks ahead of time, as there is a great demand (particularly o­n weekends) and seats may not be available.

You may contact us for bookings or further enquiries.
