Hi Friends,   Hydventura is planning a white-water rafting trip to Kolad, with a small trek to Sudhagadh over a span of 2 days (August 29th – 30th) near Pune, Maharashtra.   The Kundalika is a small river flowing from the Hills of Sahyadri to the Arabian Sea. This river originates at a small town called Bhira in the Indian State of Maharashtra, 150 km south east of Bombay (Mumbai). Adventure lovers have found a unique way of enjoying the release of the dam water. Rafting is conducted on the river using the rapids generated by the rushing water released from the dam. Rafting of grade II and III can also be experienced over a 14 km circuit.   Sudhagad(also called Bhorapgad) is a hill fort situated in Maharashtra, India. It lies about 53 kilometres west of Pune, 26 kilometres south of Lonavla and 11 kilometres east of Pali in Raigad District.
