Riverside Stays and White-Water Thrills on the Kundalika
Set on the banks of the Kundalika River and cocooned amidst the Sahyadri mountains, Nature Trails Kundalika is a riverside resort in Kolad spread across 28 acres of forest and diverse plantation. Located on the Kolad–Mulshi Road, about 25 minutes from the Mumbai–Goa Highway, it’s close enough for a quick break yet far enough to leave city routine behind, making it a favourite weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune.
Stay options bring the outdoors a little closer. Choose from AC Tents surrounded by forest and river views, Premium Pool View Tents with sit-outs, Premium River View Cottages with balconies facing the Kundalika, warm Earthstone Deluxe Rooms, or a lively 20-bed dorm for groups. Mornings can begin quietly by the water, while afternoons open into the zipline, Burma bridge, net climbing, archery and seasonal kayaking.
Kolad is best known for white water rafting in Maharashtra, with the Kundalika being the only river in the state where it happens, and the rafting point is about 17.5 km from the resort. Beyond the river, the historic Raigad Fort (50 km) and the seasonal Devkund Waterfall (42.2 km plus a walk from the parking area) make memorable day trips.
