All about the New Year Trip: Dandeli Water Adventures with Karwar Black Sand Beach.
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:
- Short White Water Rafting
- Jacuzzi
- Swimming
- Boating
- Kayaking
- And more!!
Each activity costs between 200 to 400 INR usually. A Short White Water Rafting costs approx. 650 INR. We have a window to enjoy whichever watersports you pick.
One would like to enjoy all watersports. Don’t worry about the price of individual activities. Muddie Trails tied up with local and certified adventure sports providers to give all the above water sports at a special discounted price of 900/- INR for the New Year weekend.
Life jackets will be provided for all the activities. You may avail these water sports directly by paying cash over there in Dandeli.

- Oct 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 a campfire.

It’s a good place to click selfies during day time. Don’t forget to wake up early on Sunday morning to witness serene sunrise with birds chirping around.
There are plenty of neat and clean washrooms for both men and women.
