Overview

Hello Adventure seekers!

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 Kayaking, Boating, Zorbing, Ziplining (across river Kali), Swimming with life jackets, etc. Each activity costs between 150 to 350 INR. The most loved White Water Rafting (Short river rafting) costs approx. 600 rupees.

Life jackets are mandatory for all the activities. One need not know swimming to enjoy all these water sports.

**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 that morning.
  • No travel company can promise it beforehand 100%.

After a day of water adventure activities & a happening night camping at Dandeli, we will visit two unique places on the west coast the next day – Murudeshwar and Honnavar.

Murudeshwar is a temple town with a spellbinding view of gigantic Shiva statue in the backdrop of Arabian sea. The huge statue is surrounded by Sea on three sides. The Beach is just a small walk from the temple. It’s a surreal feeling to experience Murudeshwar sitting pretty on the west coast.

Honnavar is a hidden gem that is famous for it’s beautiful backwaters. A boat ride on the Sharavati River originating from western ghats is a refreshing experience. A thrilling view of setting sun at the same time is a cherry on the top to end Dandeli trip on a high.
