Kolad Inn
Hotel or lodge, twin sharing
4 days, planned by The Monsoon Ledger
The Kundalika runs on a dam release, so the rafting window is fixed to when Bhira lets water go — usually mid-morning, every day in season.
| LANDMARKS |
|---|
| Kundalika river |
| Bhira dam |
| Kolad |
Canyoning here means descending a watercourse on rope through the gorge — three rappels, the longest about twenty-five metres, with water on all of them.
| LANDMARKS |
|---|
| Devkund waterfall |
| Bhira backwaters |
| Sahyadri gorge |
A hundred metres in two pitches down a waterfall in full monsoon flow. It is loud, it is cold and it is the reason people book this trip.
| LANDMARKS |
|---|
| Bekre waterfall |
| Lonavala ghats |
| Tiger Point |
Two hours back to Mumbai on the expressway, and the ghats are green the whole way.

“India on licensed guides and heritage stays”
Licensed guides in every city and heritage properties where they exist. Named after the ledgers Rajasthani havelis kept, which is where several of the stays came from.
Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Recommended.
Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. No hesitation recommending them.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Would book with them again.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Would send friends their way.
Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Recommended.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
For this trip, yes and only. The waterfalls are dry from November and the gorges have no water in them. The whole product exists because of the rain.
