Made the first booking through Thrillophilia. Some pointers about the trip 1.Thrillophilia Support team is not very informed about the trip details. 2.The camp location is very remote.Follow google map 3.Rafting location is 40-50 km far from the camp. 4.The food was very very good. 5.350/ to take your car to the rafting end point from the starting point. 6.Better to carry your own bed sheets. 7.Toilet was decent enough. 8.Camp is located near the river front. 9.We have not tried other activities,so cannot comment. 10.Rafting starts and ends at different location. 11.Well trained person was our captain in the raft Overall worthy and the cheapest option available.

Due to my fear of water I have always refrained from river rafting however attractive it sounds. But this time my friends encouraged me to give it a shot and accompanied me on this experience. I'm thankful to my friends and even more thankful to the instructor who made me feel safe while I was shaking with fear. Looking forward to trying rafting with Thrillophilia once again soon.

Kolad camping on New Year's Eve was one of the best choices of my life. More than the place, I liked the night we celebrated the New Year. It was totally fun filled and with lots of happiness around. The package is suitable for those who love to spend a great evening like New Year with complete strangers. And it is for those who are ready for outdoor staying. The tents were in perfect condition with comfortable beds and pillows. Food in the evening and for dinner was so delicious. Such a remarkable feeling and I would like to thank you gifting such a happy New Year.

"It was an almost perfect weekend getaway for us college friends some of which were meeting after almost 6 years. This was an enjoyable trip for all of us. Now coming to the trip, we reached there around 3.30 PM. After almost 1 hour, we were ready for the extra activities. The package included kayaking & jet skiing but the agent offered us to swap jet skiing with banana ride which we accepted. Kayaking is not so much fun but banana ride was good. I suggest to take banana ride as you will anyway not get to ride in jet skiing, you only have to sit & enjoy. After the activities, they served us hot bhajiyas with chai. As all of us were very hungry because of skipping lunch, we enjoyed the snacks a lot. Then we did some timepass by playing games like cricket, badminton etc. After that, the barbeque session was organized which we have to bake ourselves. The taste was not so yummy but it was good. After that, all people were divided into 2 groups & we played antakshari which was fun. The antakshari went on for almost 2 hours. Meanwhile the food was served. Although we were not hungry, we ate a little but the food quality was very poor. Also they didn't serve papad & sweet which they promised they will arrange next day. Later that night we played card games till late night. Next morning we got up at 6 AM & got ready for rafting which was the main event. We were served chai & poha for breakfast which we had & set off for rafting. It took almost 1.5 hours to reach rafting point. There we got ready for rafting. But we had to wait as they were not willing to send us together in a single rafting. But we were adamant that we will be going together in a single raft. After a lot of negotiation, we were combined with another group & we set off for rafting. First they gave us instructions how to ride the raft & finally the rafting started. Rafting experience was very good as there were 3 rapids in total. It took almost 2-3 hours to complete rafting which was around 14 kms. Our rafting was more adventurous as 2 of us including me fell off the raft in rapid. While the other person got into raft quickly, I was taken ahead of the raft by the speed of rapid. Then I had to swim against the rapid as I had gone too much ahead. Finally the raft was able to reach me & I got inside the raft. Although it was scary, I enjoyed a lot because of the thrill. We could also capture the video of the same as we had opted for Go Pro costing Rs. 1500 extra not included in package. In Go Pro, the instructor captures photos & videos which I would recommend you should opt for this. Overall rafting was a very good experience more so adventurous for me. After rafting we reached the camp site & got freshened. After that we had lunch which was again very poor quality. Again we were neither served papad nor sweet. But we were too tired to complain & hence had whatever was served. After lunch, we set off for our homes. Overall the camp & raft experience was awesome except the food. It is a perfect trip to go with your friends."

"It was a good experience ..... I have booked this for my wife and her friends....must say they have taken good care of everything. Some complications have arrived in rafting due to some govt issue. But all thanks to team thrillophilia .... and a very big thanks to Sonia who very well coordinated everything and made sure that the words given by her should not go waste....5 star for thrillophilia .... but only and only because of Sonia. Lastly the word from my wife for whole experience was "PAISA WASOOL"
