Overview
Kolad is a small town on the Kundalika river in Raigad district, 120 km south of Mumbai on NH 66 (Mumbai-Goa Coastal Highway). It is India's premier white-water river rafting destination — the Kundalika is the only river in western India where commercial rafting operates year-round, fed by the Bhira hydropower station's controlled water release (Tata Power releases water daily 7-9 AM and 1-3 PM, creating predictable 12-14 km rafting runs with Grade 2-3 rapids). The drive from Mumbai takes 2.5 to 3 hours by AC Sedan, mostly on the four-lane NH 66 with a short 8 km diversion at Indapur to reach the rafting put-in point at Kolad village. Most Mumbai weekend rafting packages run as same-day round trips: leave Mumbai 5 AM, rafting 8 AM, lunch at the Kolad camp, return Mumbai 6 PM. Beyond rafting, Kolad has overnight tent-camping operators (Foliage Outdoors, Vihang River Camp, Splash Mountain) offering tented stays with bonfire, kayaking and rappelling. The Sutarwadi-Pali Ashtavinayak Ganesh shrine (one of the 8 sacred Ganesh temples of Maharashtra), the Tamhini Ghat waterfalls (40 km east, peak monsoon), Janjira Sea Fort at Murud (75 km southwest, an unconquered 1490 sea fort) and the Dheku Falls and Ghosala Fort make for a 2-day Kolad+Konkan circuit. Best rafting season is June-December when monsoon and post-monsoon water levels stay high.
NH 48 / National Highway MaharashtraHistory & Significance
Kolad's rafting industry began in the 1990s when adventure tourism operators recognised the Kundalika River's potential; the Bhira Dam's regulated water releases created reliable rafting conditions year-round. The surrounding region was historically part of the Bijapuri Adil Shahi territories and later came under Shivaji's Maratha kingdom; several hill forts within 20 km were part of the coastal defence chain protecting the Konkan coast.
