Roha
Roha is a 1-night stop for white-water rafting on the Kundalika River and Avchitgad Fort; skip it if you want beaches or hill stations.
Roha is a small industrial town in Raigad district, Maharashtra, best known as the base for Kundalika River rafting in nearby Kolad. The town itself has the Dhavir Temple and Avchitgad Fort, but most travellers come for the rapids and return the same day or stay one night.
