Beautiful Location & for amazing adventure that can be enjoyed by one & all of the family then this is the place. Run by an passionate entrepeneur who'll ensure you have a good trip. Dont expect luxury but yes do expect alot of luxury by nature!
The place is very charming, set just next to River Kolad where alot of adventure activities like Rafting, kayaking, etc can be done.
We were there for Team Building Exercise & was great fun.
I must say, its steeply priced.

Ecomantra is located at a distance of around 120 Kms from Mumbai. It should have taken us 3 hours to reach the camp, but because of the weekend traffic, it took us a little over 4 hours from Malad, Mumbai. But the look and the feel of the camp was enough to refresh us. The welcome drink did wonders and we were all set for the fun and excitement. And that place gave us all the fun and excitement we expected.
Post lunch, we lazed on the hammocks and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. The fun activities followed later. River crossing and kayaking were amazing. Even though we were non-swimmers, we trusted the life jackets and the lifeguards and spent almost 2 hours in water.
In the night, the trainers took all the guests for a silent jungle trail. We enjoyed gazing at the stars (which is a rare sight in Mumbai) and looking at the darkness.
Next morning, we went Water Rafting. Although it was more of boating and less of rafting in summers, we still enjoyed it. The trainers were all from Uttarakhand and very good swimmers.
We were all girls and a little concerned about the safety initially. But the people at the camp and rafting were very nice and we felt comfortable instantly.
All in all, an unforgettable trip.

Myself, my wife and six year old son wanted to take an "eco holiday", not too far from Mumbai, and Ecomantra Rivertrail seemed to be a good idea. It is about a 2.5 hour drive from Mumbai, roads are good and when you get there, you have to cross the river in a raft to reach the lodge! That was fun.

The cottages were built in the most eco friendly manner, using local resources and local material. They are basic but neat and clean, a comfortable bed with a huge mosquito net to keep away the creepies, crawlies and flyies that abound in the jungle. There is an attached bathroom as well.

Very tasty vegetarian food is served on the premises - don't miss the Kokam Sharbat.. The highlight is the range of adventurous activities you can take part in - a short trek to the waterfall (do not miss) followed by a drenching, kayaking, and white water rafting.
They also organise other programs on request including "Snakes-alive", pottery demonstration etc.

All in all, a great trip and a good introduction to a natural way of living for my son!

Excellent arrangements and food.
Good hospitality.
Team games planned very well but the message should also be communicated in the orientation.
In-House activities planned very well.
However, miscordination when the outside vendor is contacted.Has been observed everytime Rappleing has been done. The organizers of Rappleing are not commited to time.
Their commitment should also match that of Ravi and Maharukh.
