About the place: Dandeli is an ideal vacation destination in north Karnataka for those who love nature. It offers tourists an incomparable mix of scenic beauty. The modern town on the river is surrounded by deciduous forests and a renown wildlife habitat where rare animals and birds roam in deep valleys and hilly terrain.
The Dandeli forests also play host to the graceful Virnoli Rapids, the magnificent Supa Dam and the sinister Syntheri Rocks, Golden beaches, palm-fringed rivers and sleepy hamlets make up the landscape in Dandeli.
White Water Rafting – There is a choice between a 9-km run that lasts for over four hours and a shorter run that is almost half the other, keeping in mind both seasoned rafters as well as amateurs.
Got some courage – try this and you will come out more confident then before.
*****Please note that Rafting depends upon the water level of river at a particular day. We cannot assure you that rafting will happen on the day we visit.****

Natural Jacuzzi in rapids – In today’s day and age where all things natural are a fad, why leave a natural Jacuzzi behind? At Dandeli you get to experience this all natural therapy – a rejuvenating massage from the hosts themselves: the rapids of the river Kali. In order to witness this rare phenomenon you need to travel to one of the islands near Dandeli.
Enjoy the massage thoroughly – it’s free!
Jungle safari in open jeeps – Take our Jungle Safari in an open jeep to soak up every bit of the rugged experience that is Dandeli. Summers are the best time to enjoy the jungle safari.
