Silent mayhem!!

Travelling is a very situational thing. Some people like to travel and some people have to travel. This is strictly for the former ones. The place we are going to go today is so exciting that thinking about it gives me an adrenaline rush.
Kolad is a small village in the state of Maharashtra. It falls between the Mumbai-Goa route giving you a picturisque backdrop of the Sahyadri region. It is one of the most famous places for adventure sports. The best part about this place is the low headcount. This is the place to be if you want to beat the crowd.
The Kundalika river is the fastest flowing river in South India and gives you the most thrilling experience in white water rafting. The river's 14- kilometer stretch of rapid waves give you a satisfying one and a half hour to enjoy. Besides this, you have kayaking, paragliding, river crossing and boating. It is home to some of the most serene waterfalls and the greenery around is enchanting.

Some basic Information:-
Location: Maharashtra, Raigad district.
Best season: Jan- Feb.
Altitude: 60 m

How to get there?
It is best to travel by a private vehicle ( with an extra tyre in the backseat). Also this place has real low connectivity, so any wishes of leaving work and tensions behind are conveniently fulfilled.
