Hello Mumbai and Pune!
Dandeli is an ideal weekend getaway in north Karnataka for those who love nature & water activities. The town is surrounded by thick forests and rich vegetation where rare animals and birds roam in deep valleys and hilly terrain. On the banks of the Kali river, Dandeli is truly a fascinating mix of wildlife, scenic beauty, and adventure sports.
Different water adventure sports in Dandeli include White Water Rafting, Kayaking, Jacuzzi, Boating, Swimming etc.
(Life jackets will be provided for all the activities)
Important notes on rafting:
- The status of White Water Rafting – whether it will happen or not – will only be announced by Forest/Dam authorities on Saturday morning.
- No travel company can promise it beforehand 100%.
After a day of water adventure activities & night camping at Dandeli, we will visit Sathodi Waterfalls the next day.
Join us on this great adventure!
