Kolad Hostel
Hostel, homestay or tent, shared
4 days, planned by Sleeper Class Co.
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.

| 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.

“The same routes by train and guesthouse”
Overnight trains, guesthouses and no private cars. Slower and a fraction of the price, and the trains are half the point.
Maharashtra was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Good value for what's included.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

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.
