    All about the Dandeli Adventure Trip with Sathodi Waterfalls | Hyderabad.

    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, Jacuzzi, Boating, Zorbing, Swimming with life jackets, etc. Each activity costs between 200 to 350 INR. A Short White Water Rafting costs approx. 700 rupees.

    Don’t worry about individual cost!
    Following 5 to 6 activities are included in this package:

    • River Rafting
    • Kayaking
    • Swimming
    • Boating
    • Rain Dance
    • Trekking

    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 that morning.
    • No travel company can promise it beforehand 100%.
    • In case Rafting doesn’t happen, there is no reimbursement or refund of any amount. It’s just our bad luck.

    After a day of water adventure activities & a happening night camping at Dandeli, we will visit Sathodi Waterfalls the next day.

    Join us on this great adventure!

    Seasonal variations:

    • Feb to May (summer): Best time to visit Dandeli, amazing sunsets. The hot climate throughout the day, an ideal time to play water sports, take a dip in the river/sea. Dandeli always has water as they release dam gates over the weekend.
    • Sept to Jan (winter): Pleasant weather during days, slightly humid, peaceful sunsets, good to play in the water. Cold nights will give a good experience of the campfire.
    • June to mid-Sept: It’s the rainy season and time to store water in the dam for the entire year. We usually don’t do Dandeli unless we get information that most watersports are happening.
