Known as the ‘Rishikesh of Maharashtra’ Kolad is most popular for white-water rafting, which takes place on the river here. A small town located on the banks of the river Kundalika, it's a hotspot for those of us who rush out to seek thrills via adventure sports.
Want to know what sets it apart? Well, this river is the only spot in Maharashtra that is suitable for white-water rafting; done on a stretch of 13-14 kms on the river with grade II, grade III and IV rapids provided by the water.
While you can choose your dates here, we're looking at the weekends, where you pay INR 2,500 per adult for this. The price includes transport from Dadar to Dadar, food - breakfast, lunch and evening tea, and expertise charges.
You reach the meeting point at 5:30 AM which is Pritam Hotel in Dadar East. You leave for Kolad at 5:45 AM, and reach the venue at 8 AM. There are multiple stops on the way. Enjoy breakfast and start river rafting at 8:45 AM, which ends by noon.
